Environmental History of Food and Farming
Spring 2017
Miscellaneous resources and tools:
I.
A list of books, mostly in library that have some bearing on questions of this class. This is
NOT comprehensive; you can find plenty of others.
II. Here's a bibliography
-- articles, papers, etc. -- bearing to varying degrees on questions of the class. It's a happenstance collection -- stuff
I've run across while preparing for the class -- and is very far from
being a complete bibliography. You may find it useful as a
starting point in looking for material for reviews, commentaries, general ideas... I'll upgrade it now and then.
III. Here's a collection of miscellaneous links to internet resources. I haven't updated it this year, yet, so quite a few may be dead. Again, a starting point, not exhaustive.
SOFTWARE notes:
I keep track of all sorts of reference material, sources, websites, etc. using an open-source tool called zotero;
it works either as a FireFox plug-in or a stand-alone app. It is
free and powerful, and is becoming widely used in scholarly
community across many disciplines. I recommend getting familiar
with some such software tool, and this is the one I like best.
Also note the links associated with 'doi's.
DOI stands for 'digital object identifier', and it's a code assigned
to permanent, stable internet locations for articles, papers, images,
etc. Web browsers with appropriate plug-ins will treat these as
URL's or direct linksk (increasingly, if you enter them directly in
address line of browser with prefix "DOI:", they'll take you directly
there). DOI's can be assigned to any thing that can exist in
digital form -- recordings, images, as well as documents or data-sets.
