The human landscape

Meer over het boek

These essays amend earlier anthropocentric perspectives on the conquest of nature, by placing people in symbiosis with their environment. By doing so, they seek to ensure a common future for both. The contributors reflect upon their own areas of deep engagement and experience. For some of them these studies form part of their ongoing research. The volume includes four photo essays to suggest the rich textures of the Indian landscape, and the ways in which these have shaped patterns of life and livelihood.
