His environmental history publications include The Rise of Conservation in South Africa (2003), Social History and African Environments (ed. with JoAnn McGregor, 2003), Environment and Empire (with Lotte Hughes, 2007) and, with Luvuyo Wotshela, Prickly Pear: the Social History of a Plant in the Eastern Cape (2011). He is currently working on the history of wildlife film and photography in Africa and, with Karen Brown, on local knowledge about livestock management and veterinary ideas in rural South Africa. 2 B01 Karen Middleton Karen Middleton Dr Karen Middleton is an independent researcher with expertise on Madagascar. She has published analyses of kinship and ritual in the island’s deep south, where she lived for several years. A Nuffield Foundation research fellowship enabled her to train in environmental history, since when she has drawn on archival research, oral history and continuing ethnographic fieldwork to explore the historical ecology of southern Madagascar, focusing on the cultural and economic dimensions of plant transfer. 3 B01 Simon Pooley Simon Pooley Imperial College London Dr Simon Pooley is a Junior Research Fellow at Imperial College London Conservation Science, working on an environmental history of crocodilian conservation in southern Africa, Australia, India and the USA. His doctoral research (University of Oxford) was on the environmental history of wild fire in South Africa. He has published on Dutch colonial environmental history, forestry and fire and invasive plants in South Africa, in Environment & History and elsewhere. 01 eng 00 316 03 09 54 10 HIS049000 12 RNT 12 JFC 10 NAT011000 12 JFFZ 10 SOC041000 12 HBTB 12 JF 12 RN 12 WNC 20 environmental history; multispecies histories; wilderness 01 06 02 00 "Wild Things: Nature and the Social Imagination" assembles eleven substantive and original essays on the cultural and social dimensions of environmental history.

It focuses on perceptions, interactions and dependencies, and includes cultural and social analyses as well as biological aspects. Wolves have been feared and admired, hunted and cared for. At the same historical moment, different cultural and social groups have upheld widely diverging ideas about the wolf. Fundamental dichotomies in modern history, between nature and culture, wilderness and civilisation and danger and security, have been portrayed in terms of wolf–human relationships. The wolf has been part of aesthetic, economic, political, psychological and cultural reasoning albeit it is nowadays mainly addressed as an object of wildlife management. There has been a major shift in perception from dangerous predator to endangered species, but the big bad fairytale wolf remains a cultural icon.

It focuses on perceptions, interactions and dependencies, and includes cultural and social analyses as well as biological aspects. Wolves have been feared and admired, hunted and cared for. At the same historical moment, different cultural and social groups have upheld widely diverging ideas about the wolf. Fundamental dichotomies in modern history, between nature and culture, wilderness and civilisation and danger and security, have been portrayed in terms of wolf–human relationships. The wolf has been part of aesthetic, economic, political, psychological and cultural reasoning albeit it is nowadays mainly addressed as an object of wildlife management. There has been a major shift in perception from dangerous predator to endangered species, but the big bad fairytale wolf remains a cultural icon. This volume roots study of human–wolf relationships coherently within the disciplines of environmental and animal history for the first time.

Anthropocene Days gathers 27 easy-to-read short essays about the environment and climate change in everyday life. While the world and governments are beset by the great woes of changing climate, deforestation, species extinction, air pollution, fouling oceans and so on, we go about individually and locally as best we can from day to day. Anthropocene Days contends that these two domains, so apparently separate, are essentially connected. The book looks at the diverse and mundane activities of daily life to show how the environment is experienced, and does this very personally by drawing its observations from the author's life. It is part memoir, part recent history - a medley of short essays with themes of landscape change, forests, trees, war, fire, pestilence and the domestic life of housing, dusting and clutter. Motivated by present concerns, some reach back to the 1940s. They are set in Australia, Britain, India, Singapore and America. Anthropocene Days is a deceptively easy read. It does not hector readers on what to do, but its ruminations, drawn from long engagement with environments, encourage reflection on how we pass our everyday lives while the planet changes. 30 00 Is that the nub of the world's environmental crisis: that in the business of everyday, we pass by with our connections unacknowledged?

The fight to save the Amazon is a fight for sustainability that is emblematic of the entire future of human co-existence with Nature on Earth. Killeen is an authoritative and impassioned guide, eschewing soundbites in favour of a clearsighted and highly nuanced picture of the realities on the ground. Only in understanding present realities and how they came to pass, he argues, can we proceed hopefully into the future. Events of the last ten years are discussed in detail, because future events will have to build upon – or modify – the cultural and economic forces driving events in the Pan Amazon. Nonetheless, the text provides a longer historical perspective to show how policies create legacies that reverberate over decades, long after they have been recognised as being fundamentally flawed.The book does not demonise stakeholder groups or economic actors, but explains the social and economic realities that constrain their decisions and motivates them to act as they do. Likewise, it identifies the policies that have created a foundation for positive change, as well as those that are not delivering the benefits their advocates had hoped to generate.The broad scope and descriptive detail of the narrative will provide the reader with an understanding of the synergies among the multiple complex phenomena that threaten the conservation of the Amazon, as well as an objective analysis of the alternative production models and regulatory reforms that are essential for bending the arc of history and saving an ecosystem on critical importance to the planet Killeen makes no attempt to predict the future via a ‘scenarios analysis’, but he does identify certain phenomena that will most definitely happen (regardless of new policies or market forces), those that might or might not happen (depending on new policies and markets forces), some that should never happen (e.g., extreme climate change), and those that absolutely must happen in order to change the current trajectory of Amazonian development (e.g., revenue transfers that can change human behaviour). 30 00 In a lucid style backed by encyclopaedic knowledge, Killeen unpicks the extremely complex ecological and socio-political threads that comprise the recent history and the vital future of the Pan Amazon region.

The fight to save the Amazon is a fight for sustainability that is emblematic of the entire future of human co-existence with Nature on Earth.

The volume reconstructs processes of change in the use of natural resources in Italy, and the associated environmental and social consequences. The use in historical analysis of a polysemic concept such as ‘environment’ expresses the deep synergies in the history of Italy that have tied together nature and human activities, ecological and socio-economic issues. The ancient roots of settlement, early anthropisation by past civilisations and historical features of the processes of transformation of rural and agricultural landscapes to which large areas of the peninsula have been subject impose a historical reconstruction in which changes in the use of natural resources are closely intertwined with changes in the territory considered as a natural historical context, built and humanised. Furthermore, corollary to the great richness and variety of nature and landscape, the artistic and archaeological sites, agriculture, gastronomy and oenology, that have ‘supported’ the country in its rise to global political significance, is vulnerability in terms of geological fragility, hydrographic system and seismicity.<break/>The book aims to understand how Italy as a unitary state has ruled the balance of an area overwhelmed by the impact of an economic development model characterised by high consumption of natural resources and energy. With this in mind, an important focus of consideration is the relevance of public policies, and the relationship between policy-makers and the knowledge experts that influence them. 30 00 This book, a translation of the author’s original Italian 'Breve Storia dell’Ambiente in Italia' (Il Mulino, 2015) aims to bring together the general lines of interpretation of Italian environmental history from the decades prior to national unification to the present day, laying foundations for the writing of national history from an environmental history perspective.

Interfacing between humans and nature, connecting the continents and reaching back and forward through time to past and future generations, they have come to define urbanity while simultaneously evoking nature and the countryside.

By focusing on soil conservation, which required an integrated approach to the use and management of such natural resources as land, water and forestry, it examines the origins and effects of policies and their legacies in the post-colonial era. That interrelationship has fundamental contemporary significance and is not simply a phenomenon created in the colonial period. For instance, like other countries in the region, post-colonial Malawi has been bedevilled by increasing rates of environmental degradation due, in part, to the expansion of human and animal populations, cash crop production, drought and consequent deforestation. These issues are as critical today as they were six or seven decades ago. In fact, they are part of a conservation song that has a long and complex history. The song of conservation was initially composed and performed in the colonial period, modified during the immediate postcolonial period and further refashioned in the post-dictatorship period to suit the evolving political climate; but the basic lyrics remain essentially the same. This book attempts to explain the evolution of the conservationist idea whilst demonstrating changes and continuities in peasant-state relations under different political systems.<break/>The dominant narrative posits conservation as a progressive movement aimed at re-organising natural resources and protecting them from destruction but the idea was contested and deeply embedded in colonial power relations and scientific ethos. Conservation emerged as an important tool of colonial state intervention and control concerning people and scarce resources. Conservation Song shows how the idea of conservation was rooted in and driven by a particular type of science about the organisation of space and landscapes. It offers a strategic entry point to understanding the historical roots of Africa’s social and ecological problems over time, which are also intertwined with power and poverty relationships. In the postcolonial period, the conservation tempo subsided and became neglected in public discourse, only to re-emerge in the 1990s through the democratisation movement. 30 00 "Conservation Song" explores ways in which colonial relations shaped meanings and conflicts over environmental control and management in Malawi.

He received his Dr.phil. in German literature from Tübingen and his Dr. phil. habil. in Modern History from the University of Cologne. From 1999 to 2007, Mauch headed the German Historical Institute in Washington, D.C. He has been Chair of American Cultural History at LMU Munich since 2007; and Director of the Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society at LMU since 2009. Mauch was the first Chairperson (now: President) of the Board of Directors of the International Consortium for Environmental History Organizations, ICEHO (2009–2011) and he served as Vice President and President of the European Society for Environmental History (2009–2013). In 2013 he was named Honorary Professor and Senior Fellow at the Center for Ecological History of Renmin University in China. Mauch has been a visiting professor at universities in Australia, Austria, Canada, India and Poland. In 2020 he was the Carl Schurz Memorial Professor at the University of Wisconsin in Madison (USA). He has received numerous international awards for his scholarly contributions and engagement, including the Distinguished Career in Public Environmental History Award from the American Society for Environmental History, the Teaching Innovation Award from the LMU Munich, and the Planetary Award from the Institute for Future Competences. Mauch has authored, edited or co-edited over forty books in the fields of Modern German Literature; US, German and transatlantic history; and the environmental humanities. Paradise Blues is his most personal book, drawing on his travels through the United States over a period of fifteen years. 2 B06 Lucy Jones Lucy Jones 01 eng 02 ger 00 298 03 09 49 10 TRV010000 12 WTL 93 WTL 10 TRV025000 93 WTHC 12 WTHC 12 1KBB 93 1KBB 10 TRV026020 20 America; environment; travel; history 01 06 02 00 Paradise Blues is an unconventional history of the United States of America, an unusual travel guide that follows and renders visible the country’s paths of nature, history and civilisation.

Christof Mauch is a leading German historian who has spent many years in the US and in this book he attempts, from a European perspective, to grasp the diversity of American culture and the transformation of its environments, combining travel reporting with nature writing, personal observation and philosophical reflection. Mauch seeks the familiar in unfamiliar places and the curious in places that seem common and well-known. <break/>The journey begins in tiny Wiseman, Alaska and the final portrait is of Portland, Oregon, famously America’s most sustainable city. In between, Mauch’s wanderings in space and time, his serendipitous and planned encounters with places and people, bring to light the tension and ambivalence in most Americans’ attitudes towards their often-perilous environment, the intertwining throughout history of valuation, conservation and destruction. Interactions between human beings and the environment have settled like sediment down the centuries and may be read in the present – in the form of landscapes and collective memory, in bodies of water and the earth’s strata, tree rings and human cells. One of Mauch’s dominant themes is that the grand hopes and bitter disappointments of the American paradise are not equally distributed – the blues is the voice of the dispossessed and disadvantaged; and here environmental injustice toward Black, Indigenous and other marginalised people is a recurring and haunting motif.<break/>This is a book of melancholia and hope – Mauch exposes the beauty, the imperilment, at times the wreckage, of the American environment. And he shows us that, more powerfully than abstract ideas, governmental edicts or technological forces, stories reveal the infinite discoveries to be made in humans’ relationship to nature – in beautiful landscapes where danger lurks as well as in visions and behaviours that change the world and ecosystems. Above all, stories demonstrate that where we come from and where we are going are intimately connected and therefore nothing has to remain as it is. The stories told in Paradise Blues demonstrate that vulnerabilities and pressures are almost always political constructions and, for that reason, it must be possible to deconstruct them. 30 00 Paradise Blues is an unconventional history of the United States of America, an unusual travel guide that follows and renders visible the country’s paths of nature, history and civilisation.

One of Mauch’s dominant themes is that the grand hopes and bitter disappointments of the American paradise are not equally distributed – the blues is the voice of the dispossessed and disadvantaged; and here environmental injustice toward Black, Indigenous and other marginalised people is a recurring and haunting motif.<break/>This is a book of melancholia and hope – Mauch exposes the beauty, the imperilment, at times the wreckage, of the American environment. And he shows us that, more powerfully than abstract ideas, governmental edicts or technological forces, stories reveal the infinite discoveries to be made in humans’ relationship to nature – in beautiful landscapes where danger lurks as well as in visions and behaviours that change the world and ecosystems. Above all, stories demonstrate that where we come from and where we are going are intimately connected and therefore nothing has to remain as it is. The stories told in Paradise Blues demonstrate that vulnerabilities and pressures are almost always political constructions and, for that reason, it must be possible to deconstruct them. 04 00 List of Illustrations and Maps Prologue Wiseman, Alaska Malibu, California Memphis, Tennessee St Thomas, Nevada Dodge City, Kansas Niagara Walt Disney World, Florida Portland, Oregon Afterword Index 20 00 Open Access 01 00 03 02 Aerial view of villa rooftops on a tropical shore. 02 https://books.whpress.co.uk/10.3197/63842832816954.book_frontcover.png 01 URL https://whpress.co.uk/ The White Horse Press 01 The White Horse Press 01 Publisher's website: home page https://www.whpress.co.uk/ 02 Publisher's website: webpage for this title https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2023/06/05/paradise-blues/ 16 40 04pz7b180 Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung Winwick, Cambridgeshire, UK 04 01 20240115 Christof Mauch 02 WORLD 06 15 9781912186792 03 9781912186792 WORLD 09 The White Horse Press 02 Publisher's website: webpage for this product https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2023/06/05/paradise-blues/ 20 08 20240115 02 28.00 GBP WORLD urn:uuid:9ccbefa4-8495-4316-9501-f819dd00e60a 03 01 01 thoth-work-id urn:uuid:21612ce1-1004-4cd4-b9d4-84c02ab16b96 01 thoth-publication-id urn:uuid:9ccbefa4-8495-4316-9501-f819dd00e60a 15 9781912186792 03 9781912186792 06 10.3197/63842832816954.book 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International license (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0). 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 01 01 Paradise Blues Travels through American Environmental History 1 A01 Christof Mauch Christof Mauch Chair of American Cultural History Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München Director Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society Christof Mauch studied at Tübingen University and King’s College London and majored in German literature, theology, philosophy and history.

His research is mainly within the fields of sport history and environmental history, with focus on environmental issues in sport and outdoor recreation. Svensson’s dissertation (awarded the International Ski History Association Ullr Award 2017) focused on the scientisation of training methods in endurance sport and meetings between scientific and experiential knowledge in sport during the twentieth century. Svensson lives in the countryside in West Sweden and is proud father of two daughters with whom he loves to go for a walk. 2 B01 Katarina Saltzmann Katarina Saltzmann Associate Professor in Conservation University of Gothenburg Katarina Saltzman is associate professor in Conservation at University of Gothenburg, Sweden. In her research she has investigated nature/culture relations and heritage making from an ethnological point of view, often in transdisciplinary collaboration. Her research areas include contemporary vernacular practices such as gardening, rural landscape management and recreational walking, with particular focus on the landscapes where these and other activities are taking place. She has carried out field studies in rural, urban and semi-urban environments, including intensively tended private gardens and agricultural landscapes as well as transitory and temporarily leftover places at the urban fringe. 3 B01 Sverker Sörlin Sverker Sörlin Professor of Environmental History KTH Royal Institute of Technology Sverker Sörlin is Professor of Environmental History at the Division of History, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, where he was also a co-founder with Nina Wormbs of the KTH Environmental Humanities Laboratory (2011). He has a long-standing career as scholar and writer focusing on the science and politics of natural resource extraction and climate change. He has also published widely on representations of landscape and its significance in the formation of national and other identities. His seminal collection on the history of out of doors in Sweden (Friluftshistoria, with Klas Sandell) had a second edition in 2008. Increasingly working on ‘elemental’ Earth-, Cryo- and Atmospheric narratives and histories, his most recent book is Ice Humanities: Living, Thinking and Working in a Melting World (Manchester 2022, with Klaus Dodds). 01 eng 00 331 03 09 69 12 GM 10 HIS049000 10 SPO050000 12 WSZC 10 SOC015000 20 walking; trails; heritage; history; environment 01 06 02 00 This anthology explores possibilities to acknowledge human motion, and traces thereof, as heritage.

The massive number of human steps throughout history has created a rich and widespread network of trails that cross the globe and connect places.

Today, with the increasing interest in local and sustainable connections, and in bodily and spiritual enhancement, we see a growing use of walking tracks both in landscapes within reach from urban centres and in more remotely located or ‘wild’ areas. The corona pandemic has further propelled these trends. Of course, landscapes that are commonly understood as wilderness or ‘nature’ are in most cases clearly influenced by human actions and movements. While walking trails tend to be regarded as pathways to experience nature and as tools to promote public health, they could also be seen and used as routes to culture and history, indeed as pathways to the past. Based on a Swedish research project with the aim to explore the multiple dimensions of walking, paths and movement we will in this volume engage and discuss the potential effects of such an expansion of the heritage register.<break/>Landscapes of mobility have been shaped by hiking, hunting, outdoor life, tourism, sports, and physical training for centuries. They are historical remains of those activities, while simultaneously being the infrastructure for present-day usages. The demand for places suitable for movement, training and events continue to grow, and hiking trails are a key component in the rise of nature-based tourism, sport events such as trail running and mountain biking, and the increasing interest in outdoor life and hiking. So far, the historical and heritage aspects of these developments have been underarticulated. However, the Norwegian heritage board together with the Norwegian Tourist Association (Den Norske Turistforening, DNT) have initiated a project around historical hiking trails that have been attracting attention over the last couple of years. Similar attempts are now being made in Sweden, England, and elsewhere. There is need for a more explicit discussion about trails as heritage. With this anthology we will contribute with precisely that through gathering leading scholars in Europe and beyond around this subject and engaging them in dialogue. 30 00 Trails and paths are pathways to the past – and serve as a physical and cultural infrastructure of human memory.

While walking trails tend to be regarded as pathways to experience nature and as tools to promote public health, they could also be seen and used as routes to culture and history, indeed as pathways to the past. Based on a Swedish research project with the aim to explore the multiple dimensions of walking, paths and movement we will in this volume engage and discuss the potential effects of such an expansion of the heritage register.<break/>Landscapes of mobility have been shaped by hiking, hunting, outdoor life, tourism, sports, and physical training for centuries. They are historical remains of those activities, while simultaneously being the infrastructure for present-day usages. The demand for places suitable for movement, training and events continue to grow, and hiking trails are a key component in the rise of nature-based tourism, sport events such as trail running and mountain biking, and the increasing interest in outdoor life and hiking. So far, the historical and heritage aspects of these developments have been underarticulated. However, the Norwegian heritage board together with the Norwegian Tourist Association (Den Norske Turistforening, DNT) have initiated a project around historical hiking trails that have been attracting attention over the last couple of years. Similar attempts are now being made in Sweden, England, and elsewhere. There is need for a more explicit discussion about trails as heritage. With this anthology we will contribute with precisely that through gathering leading scholars in Europe and beyond around this subject and engaging them in dialogue. 20 00 Open Access 01 00 03 02 Photograph of a path leading down to the sea. 02 https://books.whpress.co.uk/10.3197/63787710662654.book_frontcover.jpg 2 03 06 10.3197/63787710662654.intro 1 29 29 3 03 06 10.3197/63787710662654.ch01 33 55 23 4 03 06 10.3197/63787710662654.ch02 56 73 18 5 03 06 10.3197/63787710662654.ch03 75 96 22 6 03 06 10.3197/63787710662654.ch04 97 113 17 7 03 06 10.3197/63787710662654.ch05 114 127 14 8 03 06 10.3197/63787710662654.ch06 131 151 21 9 03 06 10.3197/63787710662654.ch07 152 166 15 10 03 06 10.3197/63787710662654.ch08 167 185 19 11 03 06 10.3197/63787710662654.ch09 186 200 15 12 03 06 10.3197/63787710662654.ch10 201 218 18 13 03 06 10.3197/63787710662654.ch11 221 239 19 14 03 06 10.3197/63787710662654.ch12 240 263 24 15 03 06 10.3197/63787710662654.ch13 264 278 25 16 03 06 10.3197/63787710662654.ch14 279 294 16 17 03 06 10.3197/63787710662654.ch15 295 315 21 18 03 06 10.3197/63787710662654.ch16 316 331 16 01 URL https://whpress.co.uk/ The White Horse Press 01 The White Horse Press 01 Publisher's website: home page https://www.whpress.co.uk/ 02 Publisher's website: webpage for this title https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2022/07/01/pathways/ 16 40 01tm6cn81 32 10.13039/501100005760 University of Gothenburg 16 40 026vcq606 32 10.13039/501100004270 KTH Royal Institute of Technology Winwick, Cambs. 04 01 20220731 The White Horse Press 02 WORLD 06 15 9781912186600 03 9781912186600 WORLD 09 The White Horse Press 02 Publisher's website: webpage for this product https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2022/07/01/pathways/ 20 08 20220731 02 35.00 GBP WORLD urn:uuid:4acb1055-e4fe-4feb-b8e4-4046a8a8d214 03 01 01 thoth-work-id urn:uuid:62842c74-dd0e-4887-8970-4806cecc1264 01 thoth-publication-id urn:uuid:4acb1055-e4fe-4feb-b8e4-4046a8a8d214 15 9781912186600 03 9781912186600 06 10.3197/63787710662654.book 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International license (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0). 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 Pathways Exploring the Routes of a Movement Heritage 1 B01 21 0000000229144476 Daniel Svensson Daniel Svensson Associate Senior Lecturer at the Department of Sport Sciences Malmö University Daniel Svensson has a Ph.D. in history and is an Associate Senior Lecturer at the Department of Sport Sciences, Malmö University. His research is mainly within the fields of sport history and environmental history, with focus on environmental issues in sport and outdoor recreation. Svensson’s dissertation (awarded the International Ski History Association Ullr Award 2017) focused on the scientisation of training methods in endurance sport and meetings between scientific and experiential knowledge in sport during the twentieth century. Svensson lives in the countryside in West Sweden and is proud father of two daughters with whom he loves to go for a walk. 2 B01 Katarina Saltzmann Katarina Saltzmann Associate Professor in Conservation University of Gothenburg Katarina Saltzman is associate professor in Conservation at University of Gothenburg, Sweden. In her research she has investigated nature/culture relations and heritage making from an ethnological point of view, often in transdisciplinary collaboration. Her research areas include contemporary vernacular practices such as gardening, rural landscape management and recreational walking, with particular focus on the landscapes where these and other activities are taking place. She has carried out field studies in rural, urban and semi-urban environments, including intensively tended private gardens and agricultural landscapes as well as transitory and temporarily leftover places at the urban fringe. 3 B01 Sverker Sörlin Sverker Sörlin Professor of Environmental History KTH Royal Institute of Technology Sverker Sörlin is Professor of Environmental History at the Division of History, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, where he was also a co-founder with Nina Wormbs of the KTH Environmental Humanities Laboratory (2011). He has a long-standing career as scholar and writer focusing on the science and politics of natural resource extraction and climate change. He has also published widely on representations of landscape and its significance in the formation of national and other identities. His seminal collection on the history of out of doors in Sweden (Friluftshistoria, with Klas Sandell) had a second edition in 2008. Increasingly working on ‘elemental’ Earth-, Cryo- and Atmospheric narratives and histories, his most recent book is Ice Humanities: Living, Thinking and Working in a Melting World (Manchester 2022, with Klaus Dodds). 01 eng 00 331 03 09 69 12 GM 10 HIS049000 10 SPO050000 12 WSZC 10 SOC015000 20 walking; trails; heritage; history; environment 01 06 02 00 This anthology explores possibilities to acknowledge human motion, and traces thereof, as heritage.

While they lead the way forward for anyone out walking, they also point backwards, towards history. <break/>Walking has been a common denominator for human life everywhere, at all times. While other forms of mobility have grown in importance and changed our societies in dramatic ways, most of us still depend on walking in our daily life. The massive number of human steps throughout history has created a rich and widespread network of trails that cross the globe and connect places. It has also resulted in a vast immaterial heritage through literature, art and music about walking. Paths and trails accommodate both the material and the immaterial, and challenge not only conventional heritage management but also the very essence of the nature/culture divide. <break/>In our current age, the Anthropocene, traces of people’s movements can be regarded as a distinct kind of cultural heritage, a ‘movement heritage’ that is dependent on continuous use or memory work to remain. It also points to historical and current forms of land use that is sustainable in the most basic meaning of the word, i.e. that these activities can be and de facto has been practiced over long periods of time without causing large-scale environmental degradation. Few other forms of human mobility can make similar claims.<break/>So, while traces and remains from different kinds of movement may be small in physical scale, they are monumental in terms of their importance for the understanding of how a landscape has been used historically. Traces of mobility form lines that, with Tim Ingold, tie together the life worlds of the past with those of the present.<break/>Walking tracks, paths, and trails are usually ephemeral and often also neglected traces of humans moving by foot through landscapes in the past and the present. These subtle landscape features seem to be difficult to handle within established heritage management regimes, partly because of their fugitive and timid nature.

He works at the crossroads of development, academic and policy-oriented research in East Africa (Tanzania and Kenya), having spent many years working with rural communities of pastoralists, fishermen and farmers in the region. He has done academic research on rural livelihoods and economies and contributed to multi-stakeholder policy debates around community-based climate adaptation and resilience, and water management. His current work at Lancaster University focuses on governance of small-scale fisheries and the role of fish for food and nutrition security among vulnerable rural communities of East and West Africa. 01 eng 00 208 03 09 14 12 JHM 10 SOC002000 12 GTF 10 SOC042000 12 1HFGT 10 BUS092000 20 Tanzania; policy; agriculture; fishing; rural people 01 06 02 00 Rural people(s) in contemporary Africa are often conceived of in terms of how to efficiently integrate them into international markets and global value chains; this book analyses the question of integration of rural people in Tanzania by delving into how they deal with local-global connections and engage with policy objectives on their own te 03 00 Who are the rural people of Africa?

It is a story about the hopes of foresters and other scientists to understand the forests more deeply, and about their unspoken trust that their knowledge could ensure an enduring sylvan future. Much has been written on the origins and development of modern forestry in various countries, and on the people and institutions involved, but there is little in the forest history literature that explains what the science actually is. Forest knowledge has an ancient history documented since classical times and applied within the intricate social and legal systems of medieval Europe. This volume is concerned with the modern form of forest science, founded in Europe early in the nineteenth century, when regimes for managing the forests that could be traced to the ancient world and had flourished in the Middle Ages were disrupted. 30 00 This book tells the story of the hopeful science and trusting art of forestry.

Forest knowledge has an ancient history documented since classical times and applied within the intricate social and legal systems of medieval Europe. This volume is concerned with the modern form of forest science, founded in Europe early in the nineteenth century, when regimes for managing the forests that could be traced to the ancient world and had flourished in the Middle Ages were disrupted. 01 00 03 02 Photograph of tall trees in a forest. 02 https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/9781912186037.png 01 URL https://whpress.co.uk/ The White Horse Press 01 The White Horse Press 01 Publisher's website: home page https://www.whpress.co.uk/ 02 Publisher's website: webpage for this title https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2013/06/01/science-and-hope/ Winwick, UK 04 01 20130601 The White Horse Press 02 WORLD 06 15 9781874267874 03 9781874267874 06 15 9781912186037 03 9781912186037 WORLD 09 The White Horse Press 02 Publisher's website: webpage for this product https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2013/06/01/science-and-hope/ 20 08 20130601 01 urn:uuid:9433fb2a-e2b8-4831-a439-d776b41792d9 03 01 01 thoth-work-id urn:uuid:4adb096f-6e0b-4c1a-aa2d-1b3e511e2527 01 thoth-publication-id urn:uuid:9433fb2a-e2b8-4831-a439-d776b41792d9 15 9781912186037 03 9781912186037 00 EB E107 10 01 01 Science and Hope A Forest History 1 A01 John Dargavel John Dargavel Australian National University Dr John Dargavel is an honorary Visiting Fellow in the Fenner School for Environment and Society at the Australian National University.

Soils are the substrate of all human society: from the palaeolithic to the present, their history is our history. 01 00 03 02 Old woodcut of agricultural landscape under plow, inset on a photograph of dried soil. 02 https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/9781874267546.jpg 01 URL https://whpress.co.uk/ The White Horse Press 01 The White Horse Press 01 Publisher's website: home page https://www.whpress.co.uk/ 02 Publisher's website: webpage for this title https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2010/01/01/soils-and-societies/ Winwick, UK 04 01 20100101 The White Horse Press 02 WORLD 06 15 9781874267546 03 9781874267546 06 15 9781912186402 03 9781912186402 WORLD 09 The White Horse Press 02 Publisher's website: webpage for this product https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2010/01/01/soils-and-societies/ 20 08 20100101 01 urn:uuid:9f3d7681-7718-430d-bfc0-7a5f5bdb7bc1 03 01 01 thoth-work-id urn:uuid:b8c6b1e5-ca77-4495-8216-343255f73da2 01 thoth-publication-id urn:uuid:9f3d7681-7718-430d-bfc0-7a5f5bdb7bc1 15 9781912186402 03 9781912186402 00 EB E107 10 01 01 Soils and Societies Perspectives from Environmental History 1 B01 J.R.

The first walk she remembers, aged about three, was with her grandmother, who carried a small bag which they filled with sticks for kindling as they walked. As a mature student at the University of Hull she got a degree in sociology and found a community of ramblers, learned that walking required skills and came with its own history. There were books, stories, organisations, heroes, epic struggles, victories and defeats. Gradually, walking became more than a recreation, an endlessly fascinating topic to be researched and thought about. As a result she has done a variety of free-lance projects on walking and the outdoors, edited three books and contributed articles to magazines and journals. This is the book she always intended to write, finally achieved with the help of the Covid lockdown. 01 eng 00 524 03 09 26 10 SPO050000 93 SZC 12 WSZC 12 HBJD1 93 NHD 10 SPO018000 12 1DBK 93 1DDU 10 HIS010000 20 walking; rambling; Britain; outdoors 01 06 02 00 Walking has appealed to all sorts of people throughout its long recorded history, and this volume delves into a rich variety of sources about walking in Britain from the 12th to the 20th century, including diaries, letters, memoirs, poems, fiction, government reports and newspapers. 03 00 Walking is a simple and popular recreation, but one that comes freighted with meaning, social attitudes and value judgements.

When large numbers of young people were able to take new opportunities to get to the countryside in the 1920s and 1930s, dressing and behaving in ways that expressed their own needs and desires, they were often seen as comic, deplorably urban, socially inferior and in the wrong place.

Interrogating the socioeconomic and ecological transformations determined by (and determining) the rise of soy in international food chains during the Great Acceleration, the volume gathers contributions from an international cast of researchers, working in numerous geographical contexts, from Japan and China, to India, African nations, the Southern Cone of Latin America, Northern Europe and the United States. Soybean farming, breeding, processing and marketing have bound together the histories of these diverse regions and altered beyond recognition their ecological and socio-economic contexts. 30 00 The soybean is far more than just a versatile crop whose derivates serve the protein needs of a meatless diet. One of the world’s most important commodities, soy represents the embodiment of mechanised industrial agriculture and is one of the main actors behind the socioeconomic, political and ecological transformations of industrial farming in several world regions. Despite the crop’s potential as a cheap source of vegetal protein for human consumers, most industrial soybean production has fuelled the global meat industrial complex, as animal feed.

His initial research over a long period of time was the economic history of Southern Italy in the modern age. But he has increasingly dedicated himself to environmental history, making it his main field of research. The topics on which he has focused his attention are the history of Italian environmentalism, in particular the pioneering activities that took place in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; and environmentalism from the Second World War to the present, including national parks and protected areas, as well as the relationship between environmental issues and the cultural, political and spiritual currents of the 1960s and 1970s. His publications in English include the book Forty Years Later: The Reception of the Limits to Growth in Italy, 1971–1974 (2012), and he was editor of the book Ninety Years of Abruzzo National Park 1922–2012. Proceedings of the Conference Held in Pescasseroli, May 18–20, 2012 (2013). He has also written several articles in English, including ‘The rise of European environmentalism: a cosmopolitan wave, 1865–1914’, ‘Only one Earth: The Holy See and ecology’, ‘Protectionism and the protection of nature in Italy over the end of nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth centuries’, and ‘Protecting the Alps. Italian protected areas in the Alpine Range 1911–1991’. He is vice-president of the Italian Society for the History of Fauna and director of the environmental history magazine altronovecento. 2 B06 James Sievert James Sievert University of California, Santa Cruz James Sievert received his Ph.D. in environmental history from the University of California, Santa Cruz.

In contrast to the post-World War Two period, the lines in the movement’s objectives between wilderness, landscape and cultural and artistic heritage were very blurred, and scientific and humanistic knowledge both played an equally important role. In Italy, a network of associations and institutions was built up and then eventually faded between 1885 and the beginning of the 1930s. Although this network did not succeed in deeply influencing the scientific and civic culture of the country, it achieved important successes and placed Italy at the forefront of Europe in terms of environmental and landscape protection. Among the most significant results of this mobilisation was the law of 1923 for the defence of natural beauty, which later formed the basis of Article 9 of the Constitution of 1948, and the creation of the national parks of Gran Paradiso and Abruzzo, among the first to be established in Europe.

Luccarelli embeds his environmental study in the works of these men and in the course of American history between the planting of the city of Philadelphia and the establishment of Olmsted’s major urban parks. 20 00 Open Access 01 00 03 02 Old painting of people working fishing nets on a river in front of a distant town in a pastoral landscape. 02 https://books.whpress.co.uk/10.3197/63833942852628.book_frontcover.jpg 1 03 06 10.3197/63833942852628.intro 1 7 7 2 03 06 10.3197/63833942852628.ch01 9 56 48 3 03 06 10.3197/63833942852628.ch02 57 78 22 4 03 06 10.3197/63833942852628.ch03 79 125 47 5 03 06 10.3197/63833942852628.ch04 126 174 49 6 03 06 10.3197/63833942852628.ch05 175 215 41 7 03 06 10.3197/63833942852628.ch06 216 220 5 01 URL https://whpress.co.uk/ The White Horse Press 01 The White Horse Press 01 Publisher's website: home page https://www.whpress.co.uk/ 02 Publisher's website: webpage for this title https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2016/12/17/the-eclipse-of-urbanism-and-the-greening-of-public-space/ 16 40 04rswrd78 32 10.13039/100009227 Iowa State University Winwick, UK 04 01 20161215 Marc Lucarelli 02 WORLD 06 15 9781874267942 03 9781874267942 WORLD 11 JSTOR 36 JSTOR: webpage for this product https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctv289dv7r 29 JSTOR: download the title https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctv289dv7r 20 08 20161215 01 11 INTERNET_ARCHIVE 36 INTERNET_ARCHIVE: webpage for this product https://archive.org/details/04b66d69-76b9-42ac-9cd8-c35a56ac694f 29 INTERNET_ARCHIVE: download the title https://archive.org/download/04b66d69-76b9-42ac-9cd8-c35a56ac694f/04b66d69-76b9-42ac-9cd8-c35a56ac694f.pdf 20 08 20161215 01 11 THOTH 36 THOTH: webpage for this product https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2016/12/17/the-eclipse-of-urbanism-and-the-greening-of-public-space/ 29 THOTH: download the title https://books.whpress.co.uk/10.3197/63833942852628.book.pdf 20 08 20161215 01 urn:uuid:c6239fae-a52c-4ad8-bd34-55ae192e7e6c 03 01 01 thoth-work-id urn:uuid:7f473052-39ca-4f60-85a3-44648950dda6 01 thoth-publication-id urn:uuid:c6239fae-a52c-4ad8-bd34-55ae192e7e6c 15 9781912186143 03 9781912186143 06 10.3197/63811648691469.book 00 BB 10 Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International license (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0). 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 The Environment and the European Public Sphere Perceptions, Actions, Policies 1 B01 Christian Wenkel Christian Wenkel Associate Professor of Contemporary History Artois University Christian Wenkel is associate professor of contemporary history at Artois University.

His recent books are Housing the Environmental Imagination: Beauty, Politics and Refuge in American Nature Writing and Ecocritical Aesthetics: Language, Beauty, and the Environment (ed. with Scott Slovic). He has worked in ecocritical studies since the mid 1980s and has a long-time interest in the life and work of Robinson Jeffers, having been President of the Jeffers Association for several years.

How could such a sentiment become construed as problematic, elitist, or worse? How was a calculated and intentional attack on beauty sustained for more than a century? How did beauty become, and why does it largely remain, what Emory Elliot dubbed ‘the forbidden subject’? This book reviews the devastating impacts modernist avant-garde, Marxism, some feminisms and postmodernism have enacted – through paranoia, blame, cynicism – on beauty, hope and desire. Oppositional epistemologies deliberately eviscerated the possibilities and standing of beauty in criticism as well as in lived experience. According to Myra Jehlen, the orthodox critic thus became ‘an adversary of the work he or she analyses’, tasked with undoing the aesthetic deception of what was read to ‘expose its misrepresentations and false ideals, to strip away the lie and expose the liar’. Tracing the war on natural beauty through the literary and visual arts, The Forbidden Subject asks what it has meant for the humanities, for problem solving environmental issues, for educating students, for our personal lives and, more recently, for ecocriticism. The book asks if current ecocriticism has been misdirected by the corrosive weight of negativity – the requirement always to be ‘reading against’ – that has persisted in the arts and humanities for decades. It rehearses why a ‘return to beauty’ was imperative, and what has happened to that return since the turn of the twenty-first century. Pondering these questions, The Forbidden Subject intertwines the potential place and nature of beauty and the beauty of nature and place, concluding with a substantial reading of the poetry and thought of Robinson Jeffers. 30 00 "The Forbidden Subject" launches from Ed Abbey’s affirmation in Desert Solitaire: ‘This is the most beautiful place on earth’.

He has worked in ecocritical studies since the mid 1980s and has a long-time interest in the life and work of Robinson Jeffers, having been President of the Jeffers Association for several years. He works on O’ahu, Hawai’i but lives part-time on the Big Island – situated near the ocean and on the world’s most active volcano – with his wife, sons and Golden Retrievers. 01 eng 00 275 03 09 31 12 HPN 10 PHI001000 12 DS 10 NAT011000 12 DSBH 20 aesthetics; ecocriticism; Robinson Jeffers; beauty 01 06 02 00 This book reviews the devastating impacts modernist avant-garde, Marxism, some feminisms and postmodernism have enacted – through paranoia, blame, cynicism – on beauty, hope and desire. 03 00 "The Forbidden Subject" launches from Ed Abbey’s affirmation in Desert Solitaire: ‘This is the most beautiful place on earth’. How could such a sentiment become construed as problematic, elitist, or worse? How was a calculated and intentional attack on beauty sustained for more than a century? How did beauty become, and why does it largely remain, what Emory Elliot dubbed ‘the forbidden subject’? This book reviews the devastating impacts modernist avant-garde, Marxism, some feminisms and postmodernism have enacted – through paranoia, blame, cynicism – on beauty, hope and desire. Oppositional epistemologies deliberately eviscerated the possibilities and standing of beauty in criticism as well as in lived experience. According to Myra Jehlen, the orthodox critic thus became ‘an adversary of the work he or she analyses’, tasked with undoing the aesthetic deception of what was read to ‘expose its misrepresentations and false ideals, to strip away the lie and expose the liar’. Tracing the war on natural beauty through the literary and visual arts, The Forbidden Subject asks what it has meant for the humanities, for problem solving environmental issues, for educating students, for our personal lives and, more recently, for ecocriticism. The book asks if current ecocriticism has been misdirected by the corrosive weight of negativity – the requirement always to be ‘reading against’ – that has persisted in the arts and humanities for decades. It rehearses why a ‘return to beauty’ was imperative, and what has happened to that return since the turn of the twenty-first century. Pondering these questions, The Forbidden Subject intertwines the potential place and nature of beauty and the beauty of nature and place, concluding with a substantial reading of the poetry and thought of Robinson Jeffers. 30 00 "The Forbidden Subject" launches from Ed Abbey’s affirmation in Desert Solitaire: ‘This is the most beautiful place on earth’.

Operating from 1946 to 1968, the AIA was an endeavour designed by the multimillionaire and politician Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller (1908-1979) to maintain the United States' influence on foreign policy through Latin America. With a major presence in Venezuela and Brazil, the AIA also conducted rural development programmes in Chile, Costa Rica, as well as studies of Trinidad & Tobago, Paraguay, Peru, China and India. With an unwavering faith in the principles of science and technology, the AIA exported experts who began their careers in reformist organisations during the New Deal and later expected to accommodate similar programmes in Latin America during and after WWII. By exploring previously unpublished primary sources, The Making of Modern Agriculture demonstrates the role of Latin American elites and governments in adapting and rejecting programmes of US origin. Based on numerous examples, the book demonstrates how the encounters and clashes between foreign experts, governments, and local technicians with affected populations resulted not only in the adaptation of exogenous projects, but, in a certain way, forced the AIA to rethink its strategies and formulate new models to be adopted later in other Southern Hemisphere countries. The book also demonstrates, from an approach mingling history of science, environment and international relations, how the encounters between experts, politicians, and rural populations rendered the notions of development and modernisation even more polysemic. Da Silva illustrates how, in addition to the notable Ford, Rockefeller and Carnegie foundations, agencies less known to academics played a differentiated and fundamental role in the geopolitics of Latin America and the United States. As the book demonstrates, the AIA is one of the fundamental references for the establishment of Harry Truman's Point Four and, among other legacies, influenced the formation of the largest agricultural extension service outside the United States, in Brazil. Finally, it contributes a historical perspective to current debates about how Latin America has become a paradoxical agricultural power, producing commodities for global markets even as environmental injustice is dramatically advancing. 30 00 The Making of Modern Agriculture addresses how an American philanthropic agency - the American International Association for Economic and Social Development (AIA) - influenced the course of agricultural development in Latin America during the Cold War.

All too often Afghans have been stereotyped for other people’s political purposes, but here you meet warm, clear-sighted individuals who can laugh at themselves and are kind, curious and wise about others. <break/>This book is published by the authors in association with The White Horse Press. 01 00 03 02 https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/9781917813013.png 01 URL https://whpress.co.uk/ The White Horse Press 01 The White Horse Press 01 Publisher's website: home page https://www.whpress.co.uk/ 02 Publisher's website: webpage for this title https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2025/06/27/piruzai/ Winwick, Cambs. 04 01 20250630 Nancy Lindisfarne-Tapper and Richard Tapper 02 WORLD 06 15 9781917813006 03 9781917813006 WORLD 09 The White Horse Press 02 Publisher's website: webpage for this product https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2025/06/27/piruzai/ 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2025/06/27/piruzai/ 20 08 20250630 01 urn:uuid:c3248587-0d73-44bf-8ce2-e702fbf53a4c 03 01 01 thoth-work-id urn:uuid:b1eb909b-d863-4655-917f-25bba6e3a0f7 01 thoth-publication-id urn:uuid:c3248587-0d73-44bf-8ce2-e702fbf53a4c 15 9781912186747 03 9781912186747 06 10.3197/63811987103618.book 00 BC 10 01 229 mm 01 22.9 cm 01 9.02 in 02 152 mm 02 15.2 cm 02 5.98 in Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International license (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0). 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 The Return of Malthus Environmentalism and Post-war Population–Resource Crises 1 A01 21 0000000199103779 Björn-Ola Linnér Björn-Ola Linnér Swedish climate policy scholar and professor Linköping University Björn-Ola Linnér is a Swedish climate policy scholar and professor at Linköping University.

The focus is on Cadore, a supposedly peripheral area that was, in fact, at the core of the wood economy. The region comprises several valleys of the Eastern Italian Alps that constituted the main timber supply basin of Venice and other cities of the Veneto plain. With vivid and in-depth description of the role of forest resources for both local communities and state apparatus, the book sheds new light on key aspects of the nineteenth century agrarian world: the debate on wood shortage and the rise of scientific forestry; the social and environmental consequences of Napoleonic administrative reforms; the ambivalent relationship between privatisation of common lands and the restrictions imposed by state authorities on common and customary activities; the reorganisation of timber trade networks during the first steps of the industrial transition in continental Europe. Local socio-economic dynamics illuminate the interrelations between the macro and micro scales, showing how general transformations were perceived and experienced on the ground and how local actors were both subjects and agents of these events. 30 00 "The State in the Forest" uses a case study of conflict over use of wood – the principal source of energy and the primary raw material at the time – to offer an environmental history of the nineteenth century ‘great transformation’.

The focus is on Cadore, a supposedly peripheral area that was, in fact, at the core of the wood economy. The region comprises several valleys of the Eastern Italian Alps that constituted the main timber supply basin of Venice and other cities of the Veneto plain. With vivid and in-depth description of the role of forest resources for both local communities and state apparatus, the book sheds new light on key aspects of the nineteenth century agrarian world: the debate on wood shortage and the rise of scientific forestry; the social and environmental consequences of Napoleonic administrative reforms; the ambivalent relationship between privatisation of common lands and the restrictions imposed by state authorities on common and customary activities; the reorganisation of timber trade networks during the first steps of the industrial transition in continental Europe. Local socio-economic dynamics illuminate the interrelations between the macro and micro scales, showing how general transformations were perceived and experienced on the ground and how local actors were both subjects and agents of these events. 30 00 "The State in the Forest" uses a case study of conflict over use of wood – the principal source of energy and the primary raw material at the time – to offer an environmental history of the nineteenth century ‘great transformation’.

A case study with worldwide resonance, the book offers East Naples as emblematic of the deep environmental changes wrought on peripheral areas by processes of energy transitions, economic development and urbanisation. It interrogates modernity’s distinctive global processes of industrialisation and deindustrialisation as enacted on an ancient natural landscape – Naples’ former threshold of coastal and marshy ecosystems, now buried in the sedimentary accumulation of concrete, fumes and toxic chemicals unleashed by industrial and urban development. Caruso interrogates the human choices, the material context and the different perceptions of nature, health or production that led to these changes; and his book turns an environmentally-focused perspective on two of modernity’s distinctive global processes: industrialisation and deindustrialisation. The volume reconstructs the discursive and physical factors that created the East Naples ‘swamp’, from the late eighteenth century to the present, through its transition from actual swamp to metaphorical, an ambiguous space characterised by chaos and disorder, hostility and risks, but also resistance, dignity and hope. It is a story both local and global, of ‘hygienist’ thought, urbanisation, industrialisation and deindustrialisation, ecological risk and attempted regeneration. 30 00 East Naples’ contemporary history is not special, or unique: its processes shaped a mostly grey suburb nestled in the immediate vicinity of the great southern city, sharing its limits and feeding its needs.

Its geographical coverage extends to locations in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe and North America. A primary aim of the volume is, through the presentation of research cases, to gather an appropriate methodological arsenal for the study of environmental history. Among its concerns are interdisciplinarity, eco-biography, the relationship of political and environmental history and culturally varied interpretations and appreciations of space – from Bangladesh to the Australian outback.

A primary aim of the volume is, through the presentation of research cases, to gather an appropriate methodological arsenal for the study of environmental history.

Skelton Leona J. Skelton Northumbria University An environmental historian of water, rivers and sanitation infrastructure, Leona J. Skelton is Vice Chancellor’s Research Fellow in the Humanities at Northumbria University in Newcastle.

Amid forces of revolution and empire, and Enlightenment discourses of ‘improvement’ and political economy, the Liri’s natural wealth – water-power – generated sweeping changes in its landscape and working and living environments. This book tells the story of how defining water as property – both materially and discursively – led to the emergence of an industrial riverscape, and of a concomitant new ecological consciousness; to heightened environmental risks and awareness of those risks. A dramatic century in the Liri’s socio-environmental history, with its cast of new industrial bourgeoisie, engineers and civil servants, illuminates how material developments and ideological currents completely reshaped the relationship between society and nature at the periphery of 19th century Europe.

However, the role that island environments have played in creating and shaping these histories has so far received little attention. To understand why an island became a penal colony, an atomic test site or a tourist destination we need to take a close look at its environmental peculiarities: its physical shape, its geology, its climate, its flora and fauna, and its position vis-à-vis other places.

Exploring the intertwined temporal, material and identity layers of island environments, and their transformations in response to human endeavours of conservation, exploitation and experimentation, the contributions in this volume challenge the traditional center-periphery perspective, and instead take an island-centred approach, delving into both the islands’ own stories and their role in larger historical developments. 20 00 Open Access 01 00 03 02 Mosaic of aerial photos of small islands with dense vegetation. 02 https://books.whpress.co.uk/10.3197/63831593227779.book_frontcover.png 1 03 06 10.3197/63831593227779.intro 11 26 15 2 03 06 10.3197/63831593227779.ch01 29 49 21 3 03 06 10.3197/63831593227779.ch02 51 75 25 4 03 06 10.3197/63831593227779.ch03 77 98 23 5 03 06 10.3197/63831593227779.ch04 99 120 22 6 03 06 10.3197/63831593227779.ch05 121 145 25 7 03 06 10.3197/63831593227779.ch06 149 170 22 8 03 06 10.3197/63831593227779.ch07 171 190 20 9 03 06 10.3197/63831593227779.ch08 191 213 23 10 03 06 10.3197/63831593227779.ch09 215 236 22 11 03 06 10.3197/63831593227779.ch10 237 256 20 12 03 06 10.3197/63831593227779.ch11 259 281 23 13 03 06 10.3197/63831593227779.ch12 283 304 22 14 03 06 10.3197/63831593227779.ch13 305 326 20 15 03 06 10.3197/63831593227779.ch14 327 348 20 16 03 06 10.3197/63831593227779.conc 349 354 6 01 URL https://whpress.co.uk/ The White Horse Press 01 The White Horse Press 01 Publisher's website: home page https://www.whpress.co.uk/ 02 Publisher's website: webpage for this title https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/product/entire-of-itself/ 16 40 043be3q74 Open Book Collective 16 40 005ypkf75 32 10.13039/501100010465 University of Reunion Island Winwick, Cambs. 04 01 20240315 The White Horse Press 02 WORLD 06 15 9781912186839 03 9781912186839 06 15 9781912186846 03 9781912186846 06 15 9781917813242 03 9781917813242 WORLD 11 OAPEN 36 OAPEN: webpage for this product https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/93616 29 OAPEN: download the title https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/handle/20.500.12657/93616/9781912186822.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y 20 08 20240315 01 11 DOAB 36 DOAB: webpage for this product https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/145999 20 08 20240315 01 11 JSTOR 36 JSTOR: webpage for this product https://www.jstor.org/stable/jj.12638983 20 08 20240315 01 11 GOOGLE_BOOKS 36 GOOGLE_BOOKS: webpage for this product https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=8LYzEQAAQBAJ 20 08 20240315 01 11 INTERNET_ARCHIVE 36 INTERNET_ARCHIVE: webpage for this product https://archive.org/details/0ad5cd8b-bc43-4dea-9364-528be357748b 29 INTERNET_ARCHIVE: download the title https://archive.org/download/0ad5cd8b-bc43-4dea-9364-528be357748b/0ad5cd8b-bc43-4dea-9364-528be357748b.pdf 20 08 20240315 01 11 THOTH 36 THOTH: webpage for this product https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/product/entire-of-itself/ 29 THOTH: download the title https://books.whpress.co.uk/10.3197/63831593227779.book.pdf 20 08 20240315 01 urn:uuid:6596ed89-6c12-4161-a2b5-feed3e183d87 03 01 01 thoth-work-id urn:uuid:0ad5cd8b-bc43-4dea-9364-528be357748b 01 thoth-publication-id urn:uuid:6596ed89-6c12-4161-a2b5-feed3e183d87 15 9781917813242 03 9781917813242 06 10.3197/63831593227779.book 00 EB E101 10 Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International license (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0). 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 01 01 Entire of Itself?

To understand why an island became a penal colony, an atomic test site or a tourist destination we need to take a close look at its environmental peculiarities: its physical shape, its geology, its climate, its flora and fauna, and its position vis-à-vis other places.

The needs of food production compete with those of the environment, heritage and leisure, and this pressure is increasing as ever more space is allocated to development and for carbon capture and conservation projects. The history of how rural space has been managed has been tackled by both environmental and agricultural historians. For the first time, this book brings together these two subdisciplines to build a detailed portrait of the symbiotic relationship between land managers and the British farmed landscape from the end of the First World War to the twenty-first century.<break/>Taking the idyllic Yorkshire landscape of Lower Wharfedale as the main character, this is a story of farming through a century of change. Based on detailed oral history interviews with local farmers who began their careers in the early part of study period, and their grandchildren and counterparts who are linked to the same farms in the twenty-first century, this book explores the impact of the farming community on the farmed environment while also highlighting the agency of the environment in forming farming identities. This study not only illuminates the way in which the land has been managed in the past, but also draws out the stories of farmers’ relationships with their land over generations. Understanding how these relationships function, in the context of their agricultural and environmental histories, will be crucial for the successful implementation of the landscape level change in practices and approaches that will be essential to mitigate climate change. 30 00 The UK countryside is under pressure.

What has too often been described as the ‘eternal sea’ is shown to be remarkably dynamic. Ranging widely from Australia to the Arctic, from ocean depths to high islands, a new generation of humanists and scientists trespass the boundaries of their own fields of inquiry to tie together human and natural histories. They reflect contemporary concerns with declining fisheries, damaged estuaries, and vanishing coastal communities.

This is a classic study of cultural endurance and radical change in the Arabian desert. 03 00 A new edition of Dawn Chatty’s seminal 1986 study of the Bedouin of Lebanon and Syria, which investigates the community’s meshing of modernity and tradition as manifested in the transition from camel to truck as primary means of transport. This is a classic study of cultural endurance and radical change in the Arabian desert.<break/>The Bedouin tribes of Northern Arabia have lived thousands of years as pastoralists, migrating across the semi-arid badia in search of graze and browse for their herds. Romantic images of Bedouin – black tents, robed Arabs and camels – still persist. However, mobile pastoral livelihoods have come under pressure to change in recent years. The modern nation-states of the Middle East view pastoralism as anachronistic and encourage Bedouin to become settled cultivators. An even more dramatic shift has taken place within the last few decades: the Bedouin have traded in their camels as beasts of burden in favour of the half-ton truck. The ship of the desert is now a Toyota, Datsun, Nissan or General Motors pick-up. Nevertheless, many Bedouin continue to herd livestock – sheep, goat and camel – at the same time as engaging in new economic activities. They have been open to remarkable change whilst firmly holding onto their culture, and their traditional moral and value systems. The truck has allowed many the possibility of interacting with the region’s modern economy while still pursuing their mobile pastoral livelihoods.<break/>Extensive field research underlies anthropologist Dawn Chatty’s comprehensive study. She examines contemporary Bedouin society of Lebanon and Syria in the contexts of history, economy and political and moral culture. She details the consequences of motorized transport for this community – and she draws some surprising conclusions about its future viability. 30 00 A new edition of Dawn Chatty’s seminal 1986 study of the Bedouin of Lebanon and Syria, which investigates the community’s meshing of modernity and tradition as manifested in the transition from camel to truck as primary means of transport.

Nevertheless, many Bedouin continue to herd livestock – sheep, goat and camel – at the same time as engaging in new economic activities. They have been open to remarkable change whilst firmly holding onto their culture, and their traditional moral and value systems. The truck has allowed many the possibility of interacting with the region’s modern economy while still pursuing their mobile pastoral livelihoods.<break/>Extensive field research underlies anthropologist Dawn Chatty’s comprehensive study. She examines contemporary Bedouin society of Lebanon and Syria in the contexts of history, economy and political and moral culture. She details the consequences of motorized transport for this community – and she draws some surprising conclusions about its future viability. 01 00 03 02 Photograph of bedouin nomads sitting on the roof of a heavily laden truck. 02 https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/9781874267720.jpg 01 URL https://whpress.co.uk/ The White Horse Press 01 The White Horse Press 01 Publisher's website: home page https://www.whpress.co.uk/ 02 Publisher's website: webpage for this title https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2013/01/01/from-camel-to-truck/ Winwick, UK 04 01 20130101 The White Horse Press 02 WORLD 06 15 9781912186327 03 9781912186327 WORLD 09 The White Horse Press 02 Publisher's website: webpage for this product https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2013/01/01/from-camel-to-truck/ 20 08 20130101 01 urn:uuid:3a8e8f00-07bd-4a00-9bbe-84a7b3b813dd 03 01 01 thoth-work-id urn:uuid:d5977037-17cf-4c62-b11f-b3648a62c202 01 thoth-publication-id urn:uuid:3a8e8f00-07bd-4a00-9bbe-84a7b3b813dd 15 9781912186327 03 9781912186327 00 EB E107 10 01 01 From Camel to Truck The Bedouin in the Modern World 1 A01 21 0000000287106603 Dawn Chatty Dawn Chatty University of Oxford Dawn Chatty is University Professor in Anthropology and Forced Migration and Director of the Refugee Studies Centre, Queen Elizabeth House, University of Oxford.

Soil holds worlds within itself and also builds other worlds; it devours and remakes things; it sustains life and gives cover to the dead. Grasping Soil is a collectively-authored syllabus and series of essays, all examining, with different inflections, the fundamental question: what comes into view when we ‘grasp’ soil as a vessel of human history and point of view for inquiry?Part I is an interdisciplinary syllabus that traces the contours of a growing body of work in the humanities that uses soil as a bridge between human and more-than-human histories. The syllabus offers a template of readings, discussion questions and assignments with an accompanying website for easy access to the supporting materials. The essays that follow in Part 2 explore particular moments and locations in which communities have modified, depleted or remade soil to suit a particular need. In examining these engagements with soil, each essay provides a particular view on the social, political or economic conditions that they reflect and create. The essays range from mountain top mining in Appalachia to the construction of a load-bearing monolith in Nazi-era Berlin, and the layered, residual histories of agricultural projects in Tanzania. As these essays make clear, soil is a lively presence not an inert recipient of human desires and actions. It is a living and not always governable community with ever-changing stories to tell. 30 00 Soil is a nearly ubiquitous presence in our lives, regardless of whether we spend much time noticing it.

The syllabus offers a template of readings, discussion questions and assignments with an accompanying website for easy access to the supporting materials. The essays that follow in Part 2 explore particular moments and locations in which communities have modified, depleted or remade soil to suit a particular need. In examining these engagements with soil, each essay provides a particular view on the social, political or economic conditions that they reflect and create. The essays range from mountain top mining in Appalachia to the construction of a load-bearing monolith in Nazi-era Berlin, and the layered, residual histories of agricultural projects in Tanzania. As these essays make clear, soil is a lively presence not an inert recipient of human desires and actions. It is a living and not always governable community with ever-changing stories to tell. 04 00 Introduction PART I: SYLLABUS Soil as Substrate Cynthia Browne, Johannes Lehmann Soil as Archive Amiel Bize, Seth Denizen, Jayson Maurice Porter Soil as Health Emily Brownell, Tamar Novick, Lulu Tessua Soil as Belonging Dotan Halevy, Basil Ibrahim, Paul Kurek, Steven Stoll Syllabus bibliography PART II: ESSAYS Soil’s Metabolisms Under the electron microscope, Lehmann Lab, Cornell University, New York: Behaviour instead of Identity: Functional Complexity of Organic Matter as an Organising Principle in Soil Ecosystems Johannes Lehmann British Mandate Palestine: “The Fertility of the Soil is in Your Hand”: On Manure and the Colonial Roots and Branches of the Organic Movement Tamar Novick Kwale District, Kenya: Building Roads, Counting Worms: Soil as a Medium for Parasitic Relations Emily Brownell Residual Histories The Ring of Fire, Americas: Arsenic Cycles through Racism and Empire Jayson Maurice Porter Appalachia, USA: Mountains Become Wasteland Steven Stoll Ndungu, Tanzania: Knowing Soil as a Living Thing, Treating it as a Non-Living Body: Contradictory forms of Care Lulu Tessua Lusatia, Germany: Punkt Null (Point Zero): An Ecological Substrate Begins Anew Cynthia Browne Substrates and Belonging Berlin, the Cosmos: Blood over Soil?

The long dureé facilitates understanding of how warfare among pastoralist communities in earlier centuries contributed to political, economic and ethnic shifts across the grazing lands in East Africa. The book discusses herder warfare from the perspective of warfare ecology, highlighting the interrelations between environmental and cultural causalities – including droughts, famine, floods, ritual wars, religious wars and migrations – and the processes and consequences of war. Regional synthesis concentrates on frontiers of conflicts extending from the White Nile Basin in south Sudan – into the southern savannas of East Africa, the Great East African Rift Valley, and the northern and southern Horn of Africa – examining historical military power shifts between diverse pastoralist cultures. Case studies are set in the coastal hinterland of East Africa and the Jubaland-Wajir frontiers. Warfare combined with environmental disasters caused social-economic breakdowns and the enslavement of defeated groups. The dynamics of herder warfare changed after colonial entry, response to pastoralist resistance and slave emancipation. The book is of interest to specialist and non-specialist readers exploring pastoralism, social anthropology and warfare and conflict studies; and is suitable for introductory graduate courses in environmental and social history of warfare. 30 00 "Herder Warfare in East Africa" presents a regional analysis of the spatial and social history of warfare among the nomadic peoples of East Africa, covering a period of 600 years.

The long dureé facilitates understanding of how warfare among pastoralist communities in earlier centuries contributed to political, economic and ethnic shifts across the grazing lands in East Africa. The book discusses herder warfare from the perspective of warfare ecology, highlighting the interrelations between environmental and cultural causalities – including droughts, famine, floods, ritual wars, religious wars and migrations – and the processes and consequences of war. Regional synthesis concentrates on frontiers of conflicts extending from the White Nile Basin in south Sudan – into the southern savannas of East Africa, the Great East African Rift Valley, and the northern and southern Horn of Africa – examining historical military power shifts between diverse pastoralist cultures. Case studies are set in the coastal hinterland of East Africa and the Jubaland-Wajir frontiers. Warfare combined with environmental disasters caused social-economic breakdowns and the enslavement of defeated groups. The dynamics of herder warfare changed after colonial entry, response to pastoralist resistance and slave emancipation.

He focuses on hazard identification, social exposure and evolving climate and hazard impact on human systems. Work with pastoralists in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia and China stresses the impact of drought and extreme weather on rural communities and landscapes. Troy is a researcher at the School of Geography, Oxford University. 2 B01 21 0000000287106603 Dawn Chatty Dawn Chatty University of Oxford Dawn Chatty is Professor of Anthropology and Forced Migration at the University of Oxford. She is also Director of the Refugee Studies Centre, Oxford Department of International Development at the University. Her ethnographic interests lie in the Middle East, particularly with nomadic pastoral tribes and refugee young people. Her research interests include a number of forced migration and development issues such as conservation-induced displacement, tribal resettlement, modern technology and social change, gender and development and the impact of prolonged conflict on refugee young people. 01 eng 00 222 03 09 17 11 2 12 RNK 10 SOC041000 12 JHB 10 SOC002010 12 JF 10 SOC026020 20 pastoralism; drylands; sustainability; China; policy 01 06 02 00 Changing pastoral dynamics make knowledge of pastoralism vital to understanding landscapes, development and governance across dryland regions.

'Modern Pastoralism and Conservation: Old Problems, New Challenges' presents new pastoral research from Africa, the Middle East and Asia. The volume addresses the nature and viability of pastoralism in practice and examines current pastoral conditions in diverse locations. Pastoralists engage with changing climatic and environmental conditions whilst encountering policy, population and socio-economic challenges. Issues of transformation and sustainability are at the heart of the book, whose chapters highlight the contemporary practice of pastoralism in order to enhance understanding of this unique livelihood and lifestyle. The Commission on Nomadic Peoples (CNP), part of the International Union of Anthropological and Ethnological Union Sciences (IUAES), unites researchers, practitioners, government and non-government organisations to further pastoral knowledge. As Commission members, the authors have had extensive interactions with and possess rich experience of diverse pastoral societies. This book’s chapters originate in papers presented at CNP sessions during the 2009 IUAES Congress in Kunming, China. Two perspectives were stressed: pastoralism in an international context and in the host nation, China. This approach identified both the impact of rapid development on nomadic practices and livelihoods in China and the country’s growing integration into the global pastoral research community. Modern Pastoralism and Conservation: Old Problems, New Challenges builds an international perspective on the wide-ranging approaches and challenges to traditional pastoralism in the twenty-first century. 30 00 Changing pastoral dynamics make knowledge of pastoralism vital to understanding landscapes, development and governance across dryland regions.

It gives central stage to the voices, experiences, memories and everyday lives of the people whose resilience is the subject of much international attention and financial aid flows. Building a bridge between the perspectives of practitioners and local communities, Moving Deserts reveals a story about life, struggle and hope among Turkana herders, a story woven by following the movements and relations of the author's hosts and interlocutors during fourteen months of ethnographic fieldwork. The volume argues that it is in their very mobility that the meaning of resilience resides: mobility as physical movements to reach ephemeral and unevenly spread resources; mobility as social connections to weave a social fabric that also works as safety net; mobility as fluid identities, never static but plastic, capable of taking on new shapes and adapting to changes. The drylands and their inhabitants, largely pastoral populations, are the spine of the book. Drylands often fall in the imaginary of the remote, the deserted, the unproductive, a powerful imaginary rooted in romantic narratives, as well as in political and economic interests. At a time of rising alarm about climate change, mass migrations and energy requirements, drylands are returning to the international stage with a focus on building resilience.

Andrea has worked on long-term multispecies ethnography research projects based on fieldwork in Botswana, Sweden and Colorado, with shorter stints in Nepal, Canada, Ethiopia and Tanzania. Increasingly, Andrea has worked with, and developed, artistic and ‘artful’ research methods for data collection, analysis and dissemination and has given a number of workshops on the subject for Ph.D. students and Faculty across Sweden and internationally. In 2022 Andrea instigated and co-founded together with Véronique Servais, Anke Tonnaer and Catrien Notermans the international MEAM network for Multispecies Ethnography and Artistic Methods. She led and co-organised with the same team an online MEAM workshop in 2022 as well as the hybrid inaugural MEAM conference in July Liège 2023. 2 B01 21 000000030804369X Anke Tonnaer Anke Tonnaer Anthropologist and assistant professor in the Department of Anthropology and Development Studies Radboud University Anke Tonnaer is an anthropologist and assistant professor in the Department of Anthropology and Development Studies at Radboud University, Nijmegen (The Netherlands). Her research interests developed from long-term ethnographic fieldwork in Indigenous Australia, studying the intersection of nature and culture in tourism, to rewilding initiatives and the challenges of multispecies cohabitation and conservation practices in north-west Europe, especially the Netherlands. Her desire to narrate the more-than-human world in alternative ways alongside the rational dominant ways in ecology has brought her to exploring art-based methodology and sensory ethnography. In 2023, Anke worked with Catrien Notermans in an Arts-Science collaboration called TASC (The Art of Science) to design a post-anthropocentric future for the city of Nijmegen. 3 B01 21 000000029006685X Véronique Servais Véronique Servais Professor in Anthropology of Communication at the Faculty of Social Sciences University of Liège Véronique Servais is Professor in Anthropology of Communication at the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Liège, Belgium. She is interested in the profound bio-social relationships that exists between human beings and animals (and other living beings). She conducted research in the field of ‘animal assisted therapies’ and ‘enchanted encounters’ between human beings and animals. She also studied visitor-primates interactions at a zoological park and dolphin-trainers’ affective communication at a Seaquarium. More recently, she has been doing research on the experience of encountering the forest, using microphenomenological interviews. She is co-founder, with Andrea Petitt, Anke Tonnaer and Catrien Notermans, of the MEAM network and co-organiser of the 2022 and 2023 MEAM conferences. 4 B01 21 0009000933540226 Catrien Notermans Catrien Notermans Anthropologist and associate professor in the Department of Cultural Anthropology and Development Studies Radboud University Catrien Notermans is an anthropologist and associate professor in the Department of Cultural Anthropology and Development Studies at Radboud University, Nijmegen (The Netherlands). Her research line is on social relatedness with and beyond the human and focuses on the intersection of kinship, gender and religion in India, West Africa and Europe. Her most recent projects are on interspecies communication in women’s economic and religious activities in Rajasthan (India); and on storying human-river relatedness in the Netherlands. Her projects are based on visual, sensory and arts-based ethnography which are the methodologies she also teaches at the Anthropology Department. In 2022, Notermans co-founded together with Andrea Petitt, Véronique Servais, and Anke Tonnaer the international MEAM network for Multispecies Ethnography and Artistic Methods. In 2023, Notermans worked together with Anke Tonnaer in an Arts-Science collaboration called TASC (The Art of Science) to design a post-anthropocentric future for the city of Nijmegen. 5 B01 21 0000000224743365 Natasha Fijn Natasha Fijn Director of the Mongolia Institute Australian National University Natasha Fijn is Director of the Australian National University’s Mongolia Institute. She has been awarded a mid-career ARC Future Fellowship to conduct research on ‘A Multi-species Anthropological Approach to Influenza’ (2022–2026). Natasha wrote a seminal multispecies ethnography based in Mongolia, Living with Herds: Human-animal Coexistence in Mongolia (2011). She has co-edited five books and several journal volumes, including three special issues oriented toward visual anthropology and ethnographic filmmaking, and three engaging with multispecies and sensory anthropology in the journals Inner Asia (2020), The Australian Journal of Anthropology (2020) and Anthropology Today (2023).

Through artful endeavours such as creative writing, photography, filmmaking, drawing and poetry, the volume aims to overcome the shortcomings of conventional, anthropocentric and logocentric methods in multispecies research. To move beyond the limitations of language and linguistic communication, the contributors build on the long tradition of visual and sensory anthropology while also engaging in and consciously reflecting on innovative, creative and artistic methods. Taking a multispecies and more-than-human perspective – ranging from snow and trees to animals and an AI oracle – the volume investigates ways to touch, speak, listen, feel, walk with and reach across different species.This book and accompanying multimedia website advance the frontier of publishing artful expressions of academic research by highlighting how creative practices can be the very core of data collection, analysis and the communication of research. As such, the artful pieces are not ‘just’ illustrations of textual representations, but are practised as part of an iterative process of data collection and analysis. The contributions by well-established scholars, early career researchers and postgraduates who carry out new, cutting-edge research offer an engaging range of analytical, methodological and empiric orientations, while conversing at the intersection of multispecies ethnography and artful methods. 30 00 Multispecies Ethnography and Artful Methods explores the potential of multimodal art practices in doing qualitative research beyond the human.

Andrea has worked on long-term multispecies ethnography research projects based on fieldwork in Botswana, Sweden and Colorado, with shorter stints in Nepal, Canada, Ethiopia and Tanzania. Increasingly, Andrea has worked with, and developed, artistic and ‘artful’ research methods for data collection, analysis and dissemination and has given a number of workshops on the subject for Ph.D. students and Faculty across Sweden and internationally. In 2022 Andrea instigated and co-founded together with Véronique Servais, Anke Tonnaer and Catrien Notermans the international MEAM network for Multispecies Ethnography and Artistic Methods. She led and co-organised with the same team an online MEAM workshop in 2022 as well as the hybrid inaugural MEAM conference in July Liège 2023. 2 B01 21 000000030804369X Anke Tonnaer Anke Tonnaer Anthropologist and assistant professor in the Department of Anthropology and Development Studies Radboud University Anke Tonnaer is an anthropologist and assistant professor in the Department of Anthropology and Development Studies at Radboud University, Nijmegen (The Netherlands). Her research interests developed from long-term ethnographic fieldwork in Indigenous Australia, studying the intersection of nature and culture in tourism, to rewilding initiatives and the challenges of multispecies cohabitation and conservation practices in north-west Europe, especially the Netherlands. Her desire to narrate the more-than-human world in alternative ways alongside the rational dominant ways in ecology has brought her to exploring art-based methodology and sensory ethnography. In 2023, Anke worked with Catrien Notermans in an Arts-Science collaboration called TASC (The Art of Science) to design a post-anthropocentric future for the city of Nijmegen. 3 B01 21 000000029006685X Véronique Servais Véronique Servais Professor in Anthropology of Communication at the Faculty of Social Sciences University of Liège Véronique Servais is Professor in Anthropology of Communication at the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Liège, Belgium. She is interested in the profound bio-social relationships that exists between human beings and animals (and other living beings). She conducted research in the field of ‘animal assisted therapies’ and ‘enchanted encounters’ between human beings and animals. She also studied visitor-primates interactions at a zoological park and dolphin-trainers’ affective communication at a Seaquarium. More recently, she has been doing research on the experience of encountering the forest, using microphenomenological interviews. She is co-founder, with Andrea Petitt, Anke Tonnaer and Catrien Notermans, of the MEAM network and co-organiser of the 2022 and 2023 MEAM conferences. 4 B01 21 0009000933540226 Catrien Notermans Catrien Notermans Anthropologist and associate professor in the Department of Cultural Anthropology and Development Studies Radboud University Catrien Notermans is an anthropologist and associate professor in the Department of Cultural Anthropology and Development Studies at Radboud University, Nijmegen (The Netherlands). Her research line is on social relatedness with and beyond the human and focuses on the intersection of kinship, gender and religion in India, West Africa and Europe. Her most recent projects are on interspecies communication in women’s economic and religious activities in Rajasthan (India); and on storying human-river relatedness in the Netherlands. Her projects are based on visual, sensory and arts-based ethnography which are the methodologies she also teaches at the Anthropology Department. In 2022, Notermans co-founded together with Andrea Petitt, Véronique Servais, and Anke Tonnaer the international MEAM network for Multispecies Ethnography and Artistic Methods. In 2023, Notermans worked together with Anke Tonnaer in an Arts-Science collaboration called TASC (The Art of Science) to design a post-anthropocentric future for the city of Nijmegen. 5 B01 21 0000000224743365 Natasha Fijn Natasha Fijn Director of the Mongolia Institute Australian National University Natasha Fijn is Director of the Australian National University’s Mongolia Institute. She has been awarded a mid-career ARC Future Fellowship to conduct research on ‘A Multi-species Anthropological Approach to Influenza’ (2022–2026). Natasha wrote a seminal multispecies ethnography based in Mongolia, Living with Herds: Human-animal Coexistence in Mongolia (2011). She has co-edited five books and several journal volumes, including three special issues oriented toward visual anthropology and ethnographic filmmaking, and three engaging with multispecies and sensory anthropology in the journals Inner Asia (2020), The Australian Journal of Anthropology (2020) and Anthropology Today (2023).

Through artful endeavours such as creative writing, photography, filmmaking, drawing and poetry, the volume aims to overcome the shortcomings of conventional, anthropocentric and logocentric methods in multispecies research. To move beyond the limitations of language and linguistic communication, the contributors build on the long tradition of visual and sensory anthropology while also engaging in and consciously reflecting on innovative, creative and artistic methods. Taking a multispecies and more-than-human perspective – ranging from snow and trees to animals and an AI oracle – the volume investigates ways to touch, speak, listen, feel, walk with and reach across different species.This book and accompanying multimedia website advance the frontier of publishing artful expressions of academic research by highlighting how creative practices can be the very core of data collection, analysis and the communication of research. As such, the artful pieces are not ‘just’ illustrations of textual representations, but are practised as part of an iterative process of data collection and analysis. The contributions by well-established scholars, early career researchers and postgraduates who carry out new, cutting-edge research offer an engaging range of analytical, methodological and empiric orientations, while conversing at the intersection of multispecies ethnography and artful methods. 30 00 Multispecies Ethnography and Artful Methods explores the potential of multimodal art practices in doing qualitative research beyond the human.
