Encounters with the Archdruid by John McPhee (1971) McPhee's vivid portrait of David Brower,the California mountaineer considered by many to be the "father"of the modern environmental movement,is a classic.It in the process poses one of the central questions of our time:Can a developed,technological society coexist with nature,or are the two contradictory?

The Alchemy of Us:How Humans and Matter Transformed One Another by Ainissa Ramirez (2020) Ramirez,a materials scientist,argues that with our technologies we have transformed not just the world around us but also ourselves.It's a fascinating idea,and Ramirez makes it come alive through the stories of inventors,some well-known,others underappreciated.
