Beskrivning
Nature has often been understood in literature through a disjunction to human systems. This can be seen in the nature-culture binary, or even more clearly in the opposition of ‘wilderness’ to ‘civilization’.Drawing on historical and present-day examples and case studies from Northern Europe, this book critically examines the ways in which the use of such dichotomies can be transcended to respond to sustainability challenges. Using illustrative examples, the authors demonstrate how shared histories and development of land use continue to impact multiple practices today. The book explores the prerequisites for environmental management approaches that counterpose the nature-culture binaries that are present in existing governance mechanisms.This volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of environmental management, environmental law and policy and environmental anthropology.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND)] 4.0 license.

Recensioner i media

"Understanding Human-Nature Practices for Environmental Management: Examples from Northern Europe is a significant contribution to environmentalhistory that challenges the firmly established natural–cultural dichotomy in modern environmental management... The most important theoretical contribution of the volume is its sustained critique of what Keskitalo terms ‘frontier thinking’, a framework in which nature is conceived either as pristine wilderness awaiting conservation or as aresource reserve awaiting extraction... The volume offers a compelling set of perspectives on how more sustainable and just environmentalsystems might be shaped through historically grounded understandings of human–nature relationships."- Shiyuan Shi and Biyu Wu, College of Foreign Languages, University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, Shanghai, China for Environment and History, Volume 32 Number 3 (August 2026)
