      abstract = {"The relationship between human communities and the  environment is extremely complex. In order to resolve the  issues involved with this relationship, interdisciplinary  research combining natural sciences, social sciences, and  humanities is necessary. Here, specialists summarise  methods and research strategies for various aspects of  social research devoted to environmental issues. Each  chapter is illustrated with ethnographic and environmental  examples, ranging from Australia to Amazonia, from  Madagascar to the United States, and from prehistoric and  historic cases to contemporary rural and urban ones. It  deals with climate change, deforestation, environmental  knowledge, natural reserves, politics and ownership of  natural resources, and the effect of differing spatial and  temporal scales. Contributing to the intellectual project  of interdisciplinary environmental social science, this  book shows the possibilities social science can provide to  environmental studies and to larger global problems and  thus will be of equal interest to social and natural  scientists and policy makers"--},
