Cultural framing of soils is common worldwide and is highly consequential. The implications of what place the earth has in people's world view and everyday life can be in line or in conflict with natural conditions, scientific views, or agricultural practices. The main assumption underlying this work is that soil is inescapably perceived in a cultural context by any human. This gives emergence to different significant webs of meaning influenced by religious, spiritual, or secular myths, and by a wide range of beliefs, values and ideas that people hold in all societies. These patterns and their dynamics inform the human-soil relationship and how soils are cared for, protected, or degraded. Therefore, there is need to deal inter-culturally with different sources and types of knowledge and experience regarding soil; a need to cultivate soil awareness and situationally appropriate care through inter- and intra-cultural dialogues and learning. This project focuses on the human and intangible dimensions of soil. To serve this aim, the International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS) founded a working group on Cultural Patterns of Soil Understanding that has resulted in this book, which presents studies from almost all continents, written by soil scientists and experts from other disciplines. A major objective of this project is to promote intercultural literacy that gives readers the opportunity to appreciate soil across disciplinary and cultural boundaries in an increasingly globalized world. . . 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aSoil science 606 $aCulture$xStudy and teaching 606 $aAnthropology 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aSoil Science 606 $aCultural Studies 606 $aAnthropology 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aSoil science. 615 0$aCulture$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aAnthropology. 615 14$aAgriculture. 615 24$aSoil Science. 615 24$aCultural Studies. 615 24$aAnthropology. 676 $a631.49 700 $aPatzel$b Nikola$01429729 701 $aGrunwald$b Sabine$01429730 701 $aBrevik$b Eric C$0763915 701 $aFeller$b Christian$01284281 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910746287303321 996 $aCultural Understanding of Soils$93568976 997 $aUNINA
