• Sommario/riassunto: On the basis of empirical studies, this book explores nature as an integral part of the social worlds conventionally studied by anthropologists. The book may be read as a form of scholarly 'edgework,' resisting institutional divisions and conceptual routines in the interest of exploring new modalities of anthropological knowledge making.
