Sustainability and Communities of Place - Environmental Anthropology and Ethnobiology
Carl a Maida
Although broadly conceived, the pursuit of sustainable development is a local practice because every community has different needs and quality of life concerns. Within this framework, this book explores sustainability in communities in the Pacific, East Asia, Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, Eastern Europe, and North America.
Marc Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index. Publisher Marketing: The concept of sustainability holds that the social, economic, and environmental factors within human communities must be viewed interactively and systematically. Sustainable development cannot be understood apart from a community, its ethos, and ways of life. Although broadly conceived, the pursuit of sustainable development is a local practice because every community has different needs and quality of life concerns. Within this framework, contributors representing the disciplines of anthropology, sociology, geography, economics, law, public policy, architecture, and urban studies explore sustainability in communities in the Pacific, Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, Eastern Europe, and North America.
