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.
