  • Why Conserve Nature?

    Perspectives on Meanings and Motivations

    de Stephen Trudgill ...
    Series series Ecology, Biodiversity and Conservation
    How we view nature transforms the world around us. People rehearse stories about nature which make sense to them. If we ask the question 'why conserve nature?', and the answers are based on myths, then are these good myths to have? Scientific knowledge about the environment is fundamental to ideas about how nature works. It is essential to the conservation endeavour. However, any conservation ... Leer más

  • Contemporary Meanings in Physical Geography

    From What to Why?

    Edición de Andre Roy, Stephen Trudgill ...
    Over the past twenty years, geography as an academic discipline has become more and more reflective, asking the key questions 'What are we doing?' 'Why are we doing it?'.

    Cultures of Climate

    de Mike Hulme ...
    Climate is an enduring idea of the human mind and also a powerful one. Today, the idea of climate is most commonly associated with the discourse of climate-change and its scientific, political, economic, social, religious and ethical dimensions. However, to understand adequately the cultural politics of climate-change it is important to establish the different origins of the idea of climate itself ... Leer más

  • Loving Nature

    Towards an Ecology of Emotion

    de Kay Milton ...
    As the full effects of human activity on Earth's life-support systems are revealed by science, the question of whether we can change, fundamentally, our relationship with nature becomes increasingly urgent. Just as important as an understanding of our environment, is an understanding of ourselves, of the kinds of beings we are and why we act as we do. In Loving Nature Kay Milton considers why some ...

  • Social Anthropology and Human Origins

    de Alan Barnard ...
    The study of human origins is one of the most fascinating branches of anthropology. Yet it has rarely been considered by social or cultural anthropologists, who represent the largest subfield of the discipline. In this powerful study Alan Barnard aims to bridge this gap. Barnard argues that social anthropological theory has much to contribute to our understanding of human evolution, including ... Leer más

  • Hope and Grief in the Anthropocene

    Re-conceptualising human–nature relations

    de Lesley Head ...
    Series series Routledge Research in the Anthropocene
    The Anthropocene is a volatile and potentially catastrophic age demanding new ways of thinking about relations between humans and the nonhuman world. This book explores how responses to environmental challenges are hampered by a grief for a pristine and certain past, rather than considering the scale of the necessary socioeconomic change for a 'future' world. Conceptualisations of human-nature ... Leer más

  • Language in Prehistory

    de Alan Barnard ...
    Series series Approaches to the Evolution of Language
    For ninety per cent of our history, humans have lived as 'hunters and gatherers', and for most of this time, as talking individuals. No direct evidence for the origin and evolution of language exists; we do not even know if early humans had language, either spoken or signed. Taking an anthropological perspective, Alan Barnard acknowledges this difficulty and argues that we can nevertheless infer a ... Leer más

  • Geography

    A Very Short Introduction

    de John A. Matthews, David T. Herbert ...
    Series series Very Short Introductions
    Modern Geography has come a long way from its historical roots in exploring foreign lands, and simply mapping and naming the regions of the world. Spanning both physical and human Geography, the discipline today is unique as a subject which can bridge the divide between the sciences and the humanities, and between the environment and our society. Using wide-ranging examples from global warming and ... Leer más

  • Darwin: A Very Short Introduction

    A Very Short Introduction

    de Jonathan Howard ...
    Series series Very Short Introductions
    Darwin's theory that our ancestors were apes caused a furore in the scientific world and outside it when The Origin of Species was published in 1859. Arguments still rage about the implications of his evolutionary theory, and scepticism about the value of Darwin's contribution to knowledge is widespread. In this analysis of Darwin's major insights and arguments, Jonathan Howard reasserts the ... Leer más
