Full Description
This handbook presents the latest discussions on the role of humans in nature from prehistory to the contemporary world. It offers insights into cutting-edge research and theories on pressing environmental issues that address the key theme: conditions for present and future sustainable wellbeing. Thereby, this handbook also sets the direction of future research in the field. It includes a comprehensive range of subjects to assess the current state of ecological knowledge. Experts from across the world provide reviews of research on human adaptability, risk management, food security, local knowledge, historical ecology, sustainable development, resource management, conservation and preservation, environmental degradation, climate change, governance and common-pool resources, subsistence strategies, demography, cultural (engineered) landscapes, and the Anthropocene.
This topical reference work is a go-to volume for anyone interested in research on human ecology, nature and society, archaeology, anthropology, climate change, sustainable development, and indigenous knowledge and ecology.
