2. Write a thorough book review of Christine Macy and Sarah Bonnemaison¡¯s Architecture and Nature (2003). Imagine that you are to submit the review for publication in one of the following academic journals: Environmental History, Metascience, or Journal of Architecture. They are geared respectively towards historians of the environment, philosophers of science, and architects. They all welcome a rich body of footnotes and references. Please indicate on the top of your exam which journal you have chosen for your book review.

3. Ramachandra Guha writes in Environmentalism: A Global History (1999) that ¡°environmentalism must be viewed as a social program¡± (p. 3) and that it is ¡°by now a genuinely international movement, occurring with lesser or greater intensity in a variety of countries around the globe¡± (p. 2). Explain his thesis about the origins of the modern environmental movement, and discuss to what extent this can be seen as one movement. You may bring in a rich body of relevant literature, sources, and examples in your analysis.
