Environmental Toxicology
Sylvia Moes, Kees van Gestel, & Gerco van Beek · LibreTexts
This textbook on Environmental Toxicology aims at covering the field in its full width, including aspects of environmental chemistry, ecotoxicology, toxicology and risk assessment. This contributes to improving the quality, continuity and transparency of the education in environmental toxicology.

Physical Anthropology
Arnie Daniel Schoenberg · San Diego City College
This class is an introduction to physical anthropology, but for many it will be your first anthropology class, or perhaps your first science class in college, so it is worthwhile to back up and introduce both science and anthropology. And before talking about science, we should back up even farther, and talk about epistemology, the study of how we know things.
