The Environment in Anthropology presents ecology and current
environmental studies from an anthropological point of view. From
the classics to the most current scholarship, this text connects
the theory and practice in environment and anthropology, providing
readers with a strong intellectual foundation as well as offering
practical tools for solving environmental problems. Haenn, Wilk,
and Harnish pose the most urgent questions of environmental
protection: How are environmental problems mediated by cultural
values? What are the environmental effects of urbanization? When do
environmentalists' goals and actions conflict with those of
indigenous peoples? How can we assess the impact of
"environmentally correct" businesses? They also cover the
fundamental topics of population growth, large scale development,
biodiversity conservation, sustainable environmental management,
indigenous groups, consumption, and globalization. This revised
edition addresses new topics such as water, toxic waste,
neoliberalism, environmental history, environmental activism, and
REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest
Degradation), and it situates anthropology in the
multi-disciplinary field of environmental research. It also offers
readers a guide for developing their own plan for environmental
action. This volume offers an introduction to the breadth of
ecological and environmental anthropology as well as to its
historical trends and current developments. Balancing landmark
essays with cutting-edge scholarship, bridging theory and practice,
and offering suggestions for further reading and new directions for
research, The Environment in Anthropology continues to provide the
ideal introduction to a burgeoning field.
