Demonstrating that all notions of nature are inextricably entangled
in different forms of social life, the text elaborates the many
ways in which the apparently natural world has been produced from
within particular social practices. These are analyzed in terms of
different senses, different times and the production of distinct
spaces, including the local, the national and the global. The
authors emphasize the importance of cultural understandings of the
physical world, highlighting the ways in which these have been
routinely misunderstood by academic and policy discourses. They
show that popular conceptions of, and attitudes to, nature are
often contradictory and that there are no simple ways of prevailing
upon people to `save the environment'.
