Nature Across Cultures: Views of Nature and the Environment in
Non-Western Cultures consists of about 25 essays dealing with the
environmental knowledge and beliefs of cultures outside of the
United States and Europe. In addition to articles surveying
Islamic, Chinese, Native American, Aboriginal Australian, Indian,
Thai, and Andean views of nature and the environment, among others,
the book includes essays on Environmentalism and Images of the
Other, Traditional Ecological Knowledge, Worldviews and Ecology,
Rethinking the Western/non-Western Divide, and Landscape, Nature,
and Culture. The essays address the connections between nature and
culture and relate the environmental practices to the cultures
which produced them. Each essay contains an extensive bibliography.
Because the geographic range is global, the book fills a gap in
both environmental history and in cultural studies. It should find
a place on the bookshelves of advanced undergraduate students,
graduate students, and scholars, as well as in libraries serving
those groups.
