Luckymama Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) I have been asked many times to share the reading list I compiled while planning our APHG course. Thanks for your patience :) This is by no means an exhaustive list. I have read about 3/4 of the books. Dd chose several from this list to read before and during her class. We've actually used several during AP Environmental Science this past year. (Please excuse any formatting errors. I use an ipad.) The Power of Place by Harm de Blij Why Geography Matters More Than Ever by Harm de Blij 10 Geographic Ideas that Changed the World by Susan Hansen (edited because I couldn't read my handwriting) The Revenge of Geography by Robert Kaplan Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies by Jared Diamond Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed by Jared Diamond How Soccer Explains the World by Franklin Foer Cows, Pigs, Wars, and Witches: The Riddles of Culture by Marvin Harris Fast Food Nation by Eric Sclosser Food Inc by Karl Weber In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan Salt: A World History by Mark Kurlansky Cod: A Biography of the Fish that Changed the World by Mark Kurlansky Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution and How It Can Renew America by Thomas Friedman The Lexus and the Olive Tree by Thomas Friedman Freakonomics by Steven Levitt The Future of Power by Joseph Nye How to Run the World by Parag Khanna The Geography of Nowhere: The Rise and Fall of America's Man-Made Landscape by James Howard Kunstler We Just Want to Live Here: An Unlikely Teenage Friendship in the Two Jerusalems by Amal Rifa'i and Odelia Ainbinder Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl Wu Dunn Confucius Lives Next Door by TR Reid The Middle of Everywhere: The World's Refugees Come to Our Town by Mary Pipher The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini Running the Rift by Naomi Benaron (Rwandan genocide) Red Scarf Girl by Ji-Li Jiang Beyond the Beautiful Forevers by Katherine Boo (Mumbai slums) City of Thorns: Nine Lives in the World's Largest Refugee Camp by Ben Rawlence The last book on the list was just published this year. I highly recommend that anyone read it. Edited June 6, 2016 by Luckymama 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
