As someone who has a cross-appointment in a Faculty of Forestry, I think this should be required reading for students of forestry. However, I think it should also have broader appeal beyond the academy, to those citizens who are interested in the conflict over old-growth forests. -- David Tindall * Canadian Journal of Sociology, October 2003 *\u003cbr\u003eAn excellent piece of ethnographic analysis of value not only to scholars interested in environmental issues but to those working in the wider field of human ecology and in related areas of identity, political process, emotion, science, and the general construction of cultural conventions. -- Kay Milton, Reader in Social Anthropology at Queen's University Belfast, author of Environmentalism and Cultural Theory: Exploring the Role of Anthropology in Environmental Discourse and Loving Nature: Towards an Ecology of Emotion\u003cbr\u003eThis book makes a significant contribution to our understanding of environmental controversies. While economic and political dimensions of forest controversies have been closely studied, the anthropological perspective provided by this book is novel, and important. -- Stephen Bocking, Professor of Environmental Studies at Trent University, author of Ecologists and Environmental Politics: A History of Contemporary Ecology\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNotes on Names and Methods\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIllustrations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 Introduction: A Cultural Dialogue about Old-Growth Forests\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 The Cycle of History: Public Lands, Forest Health, and Activist Histories in the American West\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 Disturbances in the Field and the Defining of Social Movements\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 Negotiating Agency in the Quest for Grassroots Legitimacy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 Voodoo Science and Common Sense\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e6 Theorizing Culture: Defining the Past and Imagining the Possible\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e7 Irrational Actors: Emotions, Ethics, and the Ecocentred Self\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e8 Concluding Discussion: The Triangular Shape of Cultural Production\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNotes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReferences\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MN - University of British Columbia Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51359156633943,"sku":"9780774808934","price":25.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780774808934.jpg?v=1754123827","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/anatomy-of-a-conflict-identity-knowledge-and-emotion-in-oldgrowth-forests-9780774808934","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
