This volume was developed to meet a much noted need for accessible
case study material for courses in human ecology, cultural ecology,
cultural geography, and other subjects increasingly offered to
fulfill renewed student and faculty interest in environmental
issues. The case studies, all taken from the journal Human Ecology:
An Interdisciplinary Jouma represent a broad cross-section of
contemporary research. It is tempting but inaccurate to sug gest
that these represent the "Best of Human Ecology." They were
selected from among many outstanding possibilities because they
worked well with the organization of the book which, in turn,
reflects the way in which courses in human ecology are often
organized. This book provides a useful sample of case studies in
the application of the perspective of human ecology to a wide
variety of problems in dif ferent regions of the world. University
courses in human ecology typically begin with basic concepts
pertaining to energy flow, feeding relations, ma terial cycles,
population dynamics, and ecosystem properties, and then take up
illustrative case studies of human-environmental interactions.
These are usually discussed either along the lines of distinctive
strategies of food pro curement (such as foraging or pastoralism)
or as adaptations to specific habitat types or biomes (such as the
circumpolar regions or arid lands)."
