To rise to the increasingly urgent challenge of understanding the
relationship between human beings and the environment, scholars
need to step back and re-evaluate their basic premises about how
current explanations should shape the form and content of their
research. Against the Grain addresses a variety of topics in the
field of human ecology, including ecological anthropology,
evolutionary psychology, environmental history, and geography, and
challenges scholars to re-think the adequacy of their methods and
assumptions. Andrew P. Vayda concludes the volume with a critical
commentary on these issues and, more widely, on the subject of
explanation. The result is an extremely useful and provocative
prZcis for thinking about, re-evaluating, and rectifying scholarly
research.
