{"product_id":"nature-and-society-philippe-descola-9780415132152","title":"Nature and Society: Anthropological Perspectives","description":"The contributors to this book focus on the relationship between nature and society from a variety of theoretical and ethnographic perspectives. Their work draws upon recent developments in social theory, biology, ethnobiology, epistemology, sociology of science, and a wide array of ethnographic case studies -- from Amazonia, the Solomon Islands, Malaysia, the Mollucan Islands, rural comunities from Japan and north-west Europe, urban Greece, and laboratories of molecular biology and high-energy physics. The discussion is divided into three parts, emphasising the problems posed by the nature-culture dualism, some misguided attempts to respond to these problems, and potential avenues out of the current dilemmas of ecological discourse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philippe Descola\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415132150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415132152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/25\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.78h x 5.82w x 1.10d","brand":"Philippe Descola","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086565323007,"sku":"9780415132152","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6129617a-19ce-45c7-a6a2-2989398cde0f.jpg?v=1769095411","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nature-and-society-philippe-descola-9780415132152","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
