...starts his list of pointers with lighting: whether you're sitting in your kitchen or an office borrowed from a friend, make sure there's no bright light (like from a window) behind you.

UC Berkeley’s Society and Environment program, for example, offers well-defined focus fields in environmental policy and theory—and a wealth of relevant classes to match. And, of course, existing Harvard courses—like the excellent (if lonesome) environmental offerings...
