Contrasted with each other and with the  potentially cosmopolitan culture of science, these detailed studies of  ways in which different cultures conceptualise nature appear in the  context of global environmental change. \u003cbr\u003e  Understanding across cultural lines has never been more important.  This book shows how individual cultures see their own histories as  offering protection for nature, while often viewing others as lacking  such ethical restraints. Through such writing a discourse of  understanding and common action becomes possible. The authors come  from the places they discuss, and offer passionate as well as  scholarly visions of nature within their cultural homes. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eAudience:\u003c\/em\u003e This volume is of interest to academics and  professionals working in the fields of cultural geography,  environmental history, environmental studies, history of environmental  ideas, environmental education, landscape and literature, nature and  culture.
