Review Quotes:
"This anthropological and sociological study sets out to show how human systems connect environmental ethics and sustainable ecological practices through institutions. Based on the case of the Northwest Coast of America, the author asks, firstly, how one group of indigenous societies managed to live sustainably with their ecosystems for over 2,000 years, and secondly, whether the answer to this question can inform the current debate about sustainability in today's social ecological systems." - Journal of Consumer Policy
