{"product_id":"wapishana-ethnoecology-thomas-henfrey-9780244043742","title":"Wapishana Ethnoecology: A case study from the South Rupununi, Guyana","description":"This landmark monograph in ethnoecology is now available in print format for the first time. Based on long-term fieldwork in Guyana during 1998, 1999 and 2000, it examines relationships between the ecological knowledge of Wapishana hunters and equivalent areas of ecological science. It places this in the ethnographic context of Wapishana settlement, subsistence and symbolism, and the wider context of the political ecology of Guyana's economic liberalisation and the consequent exposure of the indigenous peoples of Guyana's Rupununi region to extractive industries and international conservation interests for the first time. The result is a robust argument, grounded in extensive data and analysis, for alternative trajectories in conservation and international development rooted in the skills, knowledge and interests of indigenous users and custodians of biodiversity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Henfrey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0244043744\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780244043742\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/09\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.69h x 8.27w x 0.70d","brand":"Thomas Henfrey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50663735427327,"sku":"9780244043742","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wapishana-ethnoecology-thomas-henfrey-9780244043742","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
