Human Agency and the State of the Earth -- A Reminder: How Things Were... -- The Great Forgetting -- The Web of Life: Are We In It? -- What Makes People Do That? -- Population and Environment -- Rebuilding Communities and Institutions -- Can We Learn When We Have Enough? -- Quality of Life: When Less Is More. - Now updated and expanded, People and Nature is a lively, accessible introduction to environmental anthropology that focuses on the interactions between people, culture, and nature around the world. It: Is written by a respected scholar in environmental anthropology with a multi-disciplinary focus that also draws from geography, ecology, and environmental studies; addresses new issues of importance, including climate change, population change, the rise of the slow food and farm-to-table movements, and consumer-driven shifts in sustainability; explains key theoretical issues in the field, as well as the most important research, at a level appropriate for readers coming to the topic for the first time; discusses the challenges in ensuring a livable future for generations to come and explores solutions for correcting the damage already done to the environment; and offers a powerful, hopeful future vision for improved relations between humans and nature that embraces the idea of community needs rather than consumption wants, and the importance of building trust as a foundation for a sustainable future.
