{"product_id":"science-and-sensibility-michael-vincent-mcginnis-9780520285194","title":"Science and Sensibility: Negotiating an Ecology of Place","description":"If humans are to understand and discover ways of addressing complex social and ecological problems, we first need to find intimacy with our particular places and communities. Cultivating a relationship to place often includes a negotiating process that involves both science and sensibility. While science is one key part of an adaptive and resilient society, the cultivation of a renewed sense of place and community is essential as well. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eScience and Sensibility\u003c\/i\u003e argues for the need for ecology to engage with philosophical values and economic motivations in a political process of negotiation, with the goal of shaping humans' treatment of the natural world. Michael Vincent McGinnis aims to reframe ecology so it might have greater \"trans-scientific\" awareness of the roles and interactions among multiple stakeholders in socioecological systems, and he also maintains that deep ecological knowledge of specific places will be crucial to supporting a sustainable society. He uses numerous specific case studies from watershed, coastal, and marine habitats to illustrate how place-based ecological negotiation can occur, and how reframing our negotiation process can influence conservation, restoration, and environmental policy in effective ways. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Vincent McGinnis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520285190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520285194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Michael Vincent McGinnis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065001128191,"sku":"9780520285194","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_671aed87-75fe-427c-8baf-b3fe39dd5255.jpg?v=1768672478","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/science-and-sensibility-michael-vincent-mcginnis-9780520285194","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
