These Cultural Models represent specific organizations of the etic categories underlying the concept of Nature (i.e. plants, animals, the physical environment, the weather, humans, and the supernatural). The adoption of a common methodology across the research projects allowsthe drawing ofmeaningful cross-cultural comparisons between these communities. The research will be of interest to scholars and policymakers actively involved in research and solution-providing in the climate change arena. 410 0$aRoutledge studies in anthropology ;$v52. 606 $aFood supply$xEnvironmental aspects 610 $aAnthropology 615 0$aFood supply$xEnvironmental aspects. 676 $a338.19 700 $aBennardo$b Giovanni$4edt 702 $aBennardo$b Giovanni 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910545197403321 996 $aCultural models of nature$92784643 997 $aUNINA
