{"product_id":"village-life-in-modern-japan-akira-furukawa-9781876843403","title":"Village Life in Modern Japan: An Environmental Perspective","description":"In Village Life in Modern Japan, author Akira Furukawa argues that the mainstream of environmentalism today remains trapped within the modernist paradigm that has led to the present global environmental malaise. Through a variety of case studies, including primary research in Japan and Nepal, as well as a rich array of secondary sources, Furukawa outlines the case for 'life-environmentalism.' Grounded in an ethnographic approach that recognizes that local, everyday-life knowledge- which has been widely denigrated and suppressed in the processes of modernization - this book offers the hope of rectifying global environmental crises. Furukawa argues that slogans such as 'think global, act local' remain problematic unless we also 'think local, act local.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Akira Furukawa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1876843403\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781876843403\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Trans Pacific Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.30w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2007 pg. 6","brand":"Akira Furukawa","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440085151999,"sku":"9781876843403","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c45ee679-9e52-4fc6-8fba-0ea2667006cd.jpg?v=1777180302","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/village-life-in-modern-japan-akira-furukawa-9781876843403","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
