It argues that Man does not build \"his\" future alone: instead, environmental changes are also proof of the future-making capacity of non-human beings.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe author elaborates on the notion of the futures of Nature by drawing on theoretical contributions by recent ground-breaking literature in the field of environmental humanities. The book also builds on a sociological investigation into the practices implemented by environmental scientists, experts and managers confronted with environmental changes. \u003cbr\u003eThinking of nature in terms of its futures requires us to overcome the rooted philosophical tradition that associates nature with permanence and society with creative change. This is a daunting task which can only be successful if we look beyond the long-lasting influence of the human-centered categories of innovation, development and civilization that social sciences have themselves contributed to coining. We need to consider the active capacities of change and transformation of living beings and matter itself.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is of academic interest, but is also for managers in different fields and areas affected by environmental changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Céline Granjou\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 178548026X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781785480263\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Iste Press - Elsevier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/12\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Céline Granjou","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088804950271,"sku":"9781785480263","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_468c8926-0c15-430a-896a-becd5c65b3c8.jpg?v=1769106658","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/environmental-changes-czsline-granjou-9781785480263","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
