Description

"Although anthropologists and cultural geographers have explored "place" in various senses, little cross-cultural examination of "kinds of place," or ecotopes, has been presented from an ethno-ecological perspective. In this volume, indigenous and local understandings of landscape are investigated in order to better understand how human communities relate to their terrestrial and aquatic resources. The contributors offer valuable insights on ecology and on land and resources management, emphasizing the perception of landscape above the level of species and their folk classification."--Jacket.
