Culture, Place, and Nature: Studies in Anthropology and Environment

Edited by K. Sivaramakrishnan, Professor of Anthropology, Yale University

Centered in anthropology, the Culture, Place, and Nature series encompasses new interdisciplinary research on environmental issues, focusing on the intersection of culture, ecology, and politics in global, national, and local contexts. Contributors to the series view environmental knowledge and issues from the multiple and often conflicting perspectives of various cultural systems.
