Environmental change conventionally is understood as occurring in a linear fashion, moving from a state of more nature to a state of less nature and more culture. In this model, non-Western and premodern societies live off natural resources, whereas more modern societies rely on artifact, or nature that is transformed and domesticated through science and technology into culture. In contrast, Emmanuel Kreike argues that both non-Western and premodern societies inhabit a dynamic middle ground between nature and culture. He asserts that humans- in collaboration with plants, animals, and other animate and inanimate forces - create environmental infrastructure that constantly is remade and reimagined in the face of ongoing processes of change"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000888116 650_0 $$aHuman ecology$$zNamibia$$xHistory. 000888116 650_0 $$aNatural resources$$zNamibia$$xManagement$$xHistory. 000888116 651_0 $$aNamibia$$xEnvironmental conditions. 000888116 830_0 $$aStudies in environment and history. 000888116 852__ $$bebk 000888116 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete $$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1139564$$zOnline Access 000888116 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:888116$$pGLOBAL_SET 000888116 980__ $$aEBOOK 000888116 980__ $$aBIB 000888116 982__ $$aEbook 000888116 983__ $$aOnline
