Take a look at our BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS via a Zotero Group Library. All are available in print or online at Concordia. Search the Sofia Discovery tool to find individual titles.
You will find a healthy collection of films relevant to sustainability in our collections, both in streaming format and on DVD.
