Carole L. Crumley has brought together top scholars from across
anthropology in a benchmark volume that displays the range of
exciting new work on the complex relationship between humans and
the environment. Continually pursuing anthropology's persistent
claim that both the physical and the mental world matter, these
environmental scholars proceed from the holistic assumption that
the physical world and human societies are always inextricably
linked. As they incorporate diverse forms of knowledge, their work
reaches beyond anthropology to bridge the sciences, social
sciences, and the humanities, and to forge working relationships
with non-academic communities and professionals. Theoretical issues
such as the cultural dimensions of context, knowledge, and power
are articulated alongside practical discussions of building
partnerships, research methods and ethics, and strategies for
implementing policy. New Directions in Environment and Anthropology
will be important for all scholars and non-academics interested in
the relation between our species and its biotic and built
environments. It is also designed for classroom use in and beyond
anthropology, and students will be greatly assisted by suggested
reading lists for their further exploration of general concepts and
specific research. Learn more about the author at the University of
North Carolina Anthropology Department web pages.
