Religion, Ethics and the Environment
Browse by
These are recordings of Lectures in the Natural Resources Seminar 407: Religion, Ethics and the Environment from 1994-2003.
The syllabus for this course, along with short descriptions with links to each lecture, are available at https://confluence.cornell.edu/x/ayo.
These lectures were originally recorded on cassette tape or Sony Minidisk recorder, and then transcribed into MP3 files. Some were recorded with a lapel microphone, and others with a stereo microphone. The former provides a clearer recording. For the 1991 - 1994 lectures, roving wireless microphones were available for the students during discussions, resulting in a better recording of their comments. Some of the recordings are truncated do to equipment failure.
