Book Synopsis Culture and the Changing Environment by : Michael J. Casimir
Download or read book Culture and the Changing Environment written by Michael J. Casimir. This book was released on 2009. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today human ecology has split into many different sub-disciplines such as historical ecology, political ecology or the New Ecological Anthropology. The latter in particular has criticised the predominance of the Western view on different ecosystems, arguing that culture-specific world views and human-environment interactions have been largely neglected. However, these different perspectives only tackle specific facets of a local and global hyper-complex reality. In bringing together a variety of views and theoretical approaches , these especially commissioned essays prove that an interdisciplinary collaboration and understanding of the extreme complexity of the human-environment interface(s) is possible.
