Description:
This book explores nature as an integral part of the social worlds conventionally studied by anthropologists. The book demonstrates not only the entanglement of natural and social things, but also the entwinement of analytical perspective and ethnographic material.
Review Quotes:
"The book is a comprehensive selection of chapters and a joy to read for anyone who is interested in social anthropology's approaches to nature. In general, it is a thought-provoking work that offers inspiring examples on the different ways that anthropologists approach nature today. The book is also a must-read for other social scientists and especially scholars engaged in the natural sciences. It will also give policy makers in the environmental field valuable insights into their work."-- Maija Lassila, Journal of the Finnish Anthropological Society
