Reviews

The book is a comprehensive selection of chapters and a joy to read for anyone who is interested in social anthropology's approaches to nature. In general, it is a thought-provoking work that offers inspiring examples on the different ways that anthropologists approach nature today. The book is also a must-read for other social scientists and especially scholars engaged in the natural sciences. It will also give policy makers in the environmental field valuable insights into their work. - Maija Lassila, Journal of the Finnish Anthropological Society
