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.
The Teaching Roadmap is designed for college and secondary
educators who are looking for support as they begin their teaching
careers. While one of the main foci of this book is preparing new
instructors for the demands of teaching, the authors outline some
of the main theories on learning styles, contemporary trends in
education, and a variety of teaching methodologies. Beyond the
mechanics of the teaching-learning process, this book emphasizes
preparation (e.g., creating syllabi, developing lesson plans, and
where to look for assistance). Throughout the book, common pitfalls
in all areas of teaching are addressed, and recommendations for
resolving problems are offered. Considering the investment in time
that it takes to research, this book has been designed to be a
user-friendly and concise outline of the most important themes that
confront new teachers. Each chapter includes easily accessible
information on how to quickly access to a variety of outside
resources. Finally, the web site support center offers immediate
access to multiple templates, activities, and other resources to
save you time!
"A fascinating account of Apache history and ethnography. All
the narratives have been carefully chosen to illustrate important
facets of the Apache experience. Moreover, they make very
interesting reading....This is a major contribution to both Apache
history and to the history of the Southwest....The book should
appeal to a very wide audience. It also should be well received by
the Native American community. Indeh is oral history at its
best."---R. David Edmunds, " Utah Historical Quarterly"
