Non fiction book about how humanity and nature interact
I’m currently reading “Islands of Abandonment” by Cal Flyn and it’s unlocked an interest in this subject. I suppose anything natural history, but zeroed in on a specific subject would be good.
I’m reading A Natural History of the Future by Rob Dunn. It has info about how the natural world has affected humans and our niche and how climate change has already affected our ecosystem and what changes are coming in the future.

Isaac’s Storm by Erik Larson maybe? It’s about a hurricane that wiped out Galveston in early 1900s and all the human failure that led up to it.

Where the Deer and the Antelope Play by Nick Offerman is fun, but with plenty to think about and name drops a lot of authors in this realm

Silent Spring by Rachel Carson is a good one. Raised the alarm about pesticide use and started a large part of the environmentalism movement in the 60s.

Changes in the Land by William Cronon is a historical account of the differing ways Native tribes and early Colonial settlers in New England affected the land. A classic.
