Humans and Their Environments
Humans and Their Environments invites teens to explore the different systems that exist within their built, natural, and digital environments through both fictional and non-fictional works. Through the books provided, teens will be able to see the connections that humans have with the natural world, government and politics, labor, non-human animals, and medicine, plus more! All of these systems exist within Providence, and the books will invite teens to think more critically about the intricacies that make up their everyday lives.
