Non-fiction Environmental Book Recs

Hello! I am seeking book recommendations regarding the environment.

I graduated with my B.A. in environmental studies several years ago. I keep up with news, but don’t feel like I have been academically challenged/informed in this realm since I stopped studying at school. Unfortunately, I did have to find work outside of the field, but I deeply want to continue learning. Open to all types of books. I would love anything thought-provoking. For example, environmental philosophy books or a collection of recent findings. Historical texts are also great, and so are books that allow the voices of others to be heard.

The most recent book I’ve read is “A Field Guide to Climate Anxiety: How to Keep Your Cool on a Warming Planet” by Sarah Jaquette Ray and that was a year or too ago

The Sixth Extinction by Elizabeth Kolbert

She shows how climate change, habitat loss, and other human impacts are accelerating the loss of species. It won the Pulitzer for non-fiction a few years ago. 🏅
