Made up of ten of Roy Ellen’s finest articles, this book looks back at his ideas about nature and includes a new introduction that contextualizes the arguments and takes them forward. Many of the chapters focus on research the author has conducted amongst the Nuaulu people of eastern Indonesia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“An important topic from a much-appreciated scholar”.\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Carole Crumley\u003c\/strong\u003e, Swedish Agricultural University and Uppsala University\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“This is a timely and important contribution that brings together in a single volume a collection of essays that represents the thinking of one of environmental anthropology’s most consistent and influential voices across an entire range of issues”.\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Miguel Alexiades\u003c\/strong\u003e, University of Kent\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tList of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e \tPreface\u003cbr\u003e \tAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e \tNote on Orthography\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nature Beyond the 'Ontological Turn'\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/strong\u003e What Black Elk Left Unsaid\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/strong\u003e Comparative Natures in Melanesia\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/strong\u003e Political Contingency, Historical Ecology, and the Renegotiation of Nature\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003e     Appendix: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Consequences of Deforestation - A Nuaulu Text from Rouhua Seram 1994\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/strong\u003e Indigenous Environmental Knowledge and its Transformations\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/strong\u003e From Ethno-science to Science\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/strong\u003e Local and Scientific Understandings of Forest Diversity\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 7.\u003c\/strong\u003e Why Aren't the Nuaulu Like the Matsigenka?\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 8.\u003c\/strong\u003e Roots, Shoots and Leaves - The Art of Weeding\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 9.\u003c\/strong\u003e Tools, Agency and the Category of ‘Living Things’\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 10.\u003c\/strong\u003e Is There a Role for Ontologies in Understanding Plant Knowledge Systems?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tReferences\u003cbr\u003e \tIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042567258455,"sku":"9781789208979","price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781789208979.jpg?v=1750954675","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/nature-wars-essays-around-a-contested-concept-9781789208979","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
