Indeed, the technological and cultural advancement of the species has been widely acknowledged to rest upon human domination and control of nature. Yet, by the 1960s, the idea of culture in confrontation with nature was being challenged by science, philosophy and the environmental movement. Anthropology is increasingly concerned with such issues as they become more urgent for humankind as a whole. This important book reviews the current state of the concepts of 'nature' we use, both as scientific devices and ideological constructs, and is organised around three themes: - nature as a cultural construction;- the cultural management of the environment; and- relations between plants, animals and humans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roy Ellen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367719185\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367719180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 688\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.44d","brand":"Roy Ellen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136028487935,"sku":"9780367719180","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bf81fbef-c0f8-4c58-be4d-004049e6a5ec.jpg?v=1770160033","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/redefining-nature-roy-ellen-9780367719180","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
