Pest Control: Exploring Birds and Environmental Consciousness
I just launched the website for my academic book, Pest Control: Birds, Black Folk, and the History of Environmental Consciousness in the U.S. South. I will post updates there. Of course, I need to finish writing it first 🙂 https://christyhyman1.wixsite.com/pest-control
