Exploring Political Ecology

This book explores some of the conditions and underlying causes of the multiple environmental crises facing humanity. Rooted in anthropology, but multidisciplinary in scope, it surveys the socio-cultural and socio-economic errors, foibles, and follies that brought us to these circumstances.
