Recs if you like The Anthropology of Turquoise: Reflections on Desert, Sea, Stone, and Sky (Pulitzer Prize Finalist)...
And all I got was trauma and student debt…
A selection of anthropological reads from my days in academia. Some written for a general audience, while others require greater foundational knowledge to appreciate. Topics are largely intended to provide a traditional four-subfield approach, though sociocultural anthropology is largely (some would say over) represented. Includes titles written by authors outside the discipline but utilized in an interdisciplinary context.
Gemstone and Mineral Nonfiction
Nonfiction books about individual gems, crystals, and minerals, also a few books about multiple minerals that I would recommend.
You and I are Earth
Books (mostly fiction) with relationship to place/natural systems as a major theme. Recommendations welcome!
