Environmental Anthropology: Current issues and fields of engagement
How do humans interact with their environments? How do their actions influence biodiversity loss, climate change and pollution? And how do differently situated people respond to these transformations in specific ways?
This book serves as an introduction to the research and practice of environmental anthropology. It presents current key concepts and debates, and highlights social-ecological issues. Readers will learn about the origins of the field, and about recent approaches to landscapes, infrastructures, Anthropocenes and ontologies. They can delve into environmental-anthropological research on water, plants, animals and human bodies, and are invited to explore issues around climate change, disasters, extractivism, conservation and environmentalism.
