Interested in reading more about landscape, natural processes, and the impact of humans on the environment?

Here’s a selection of books that I have read over the past few years that I found useful:

• Changes in the Land: Indians, Colonists, and the Ecology of New England, William Cronon.
• Nature and the Idea of a Man-made World, Norman Crowe.
• Nature and Society: Anthropological Perspectives, Phillipe Descola and Gisli Palsson.
• Place, Culture, and Representation, James S. Duncan and David Ley.
• The Anthropology of Landscape: Perspectives on Place and Space, Eric Hirsch and Michael O’Hanlon.
• The Domestication of the Human Species, Peter J. Wilson.
• The Language of Landscape, Anne Whiston Spirn.
• The Control of Nature, John McPhee.
• Look at the Land: Aerial Reflections on America, Alex MacLean.

The concepts discussed in the various books are applicable to the business world. Events occurring in the natural world are closely related to events in the man-made world because they follow the same patterns.
