Garbage Wars: The Struggle for Environmental Justice in Chicago by David Naguib Pellow
A study of the struggle for environmental equity, focusing on conflicts over solid waste and pollution in Chicago.

The Future of the Wild: Radical Conservation for a Crowded World by Jonathan S Adams
A new approach to conservation. The main strategy behind it involves using the latest in conservation science along with the desires of local communities to protect the places where people live and work. In this way, each small success moves conservationists closer toward creating huge protected landscapes large enough to support animals like bison and wolves. Only with freedom to roam through and between these lands, using wilderness corridors, can such large animals flourish.
