Kohler. 330 $aKnowing Global Environments brings together nine leading scholars whose work spans a variety of environmental and field sciences, including archaeology, agriculture, botany, climatology, ecology, evolutionary biology, oceanography, ornithology, and tidology. Collectively their essays explore the history of the field sciences, through the lens of place, practice, and the production of scientific knowledge, with a wide-ranging perspective extending outwards from the local to regional, national, imperial, and global scales. The book also shows what the history of the field sciences can contribute to environmental history-especially how knowledge in the field sciences has intersected with changing environments-and addresses key present-day problems related to sustainability, such as global climate, biodiversity, oceans, and more. Contributors to Knowing Global Environments reveal how the field sciences have interacted with practical economic activities, such as forestry, agriculture, and tourism, as well as how the public has been involved in the field sciences, as field assistants, students, and local collaborators. 410 0$aStudies in modern science, technology, and the environment. 606 $aScience$xFieldwork$xHistory 615 0$aScience$xFieldwork$xHistory. 676 $a507.2/3 700 $aVetter$b Jeremy, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01497677 701 $aVetter$b Jeremy$f1975-$01151316 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789740503321 996 $aKnowing global environments$93722912 997 $aUNINA
