The contributors, all distinguished anthropologists with practical experience of development projects, focus on the role of human cultural imagination in the use of environmental resources. They challenge the traditional sharp distinction between human settlement and natual environment (farm or camp, forest or bush), and argue that development programmes should place at their centre an appreciation of people's cosmologies and cultural understandings.EIDOS (Series) (Paris, France)Human ecologyAfricaHuman ecologyAsiaNatureEffect of human beings onAfricaNatureEffect of human beings onAsiaEnvironmental psychologyCross-cultural studiesHuman ecologyHuman ecologyNatureEffect of human beings onNatureEffect of human beings onEnvironmental psychology304.2910.019Croll Elisabeth1944-2007881580Parkin David J.1940-143125University of London.School of Oriental and African Studies.FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910779964203321Bush base3805094UNINA
