Publisher's Synopsis
This 14-volume set, first published between 1988 and 2001, forms the majority of the original 20-volume Ethnoscapes: Current Challenges in the Environmental Social Sciences series. The collection brings together a vibrant mix of cutting-edge explorations, from all over the world, of human transactions with the built and natural environments. This includes, for example, consideration of vernacular architecture that contrasts with the architecture and urbanism of the colonial enterprise, the meaning of home, aesthetics, well-being and health, and consideration of how environmental psychology has become 'green'. All of these topics, and more, provide an exciting basis for dealing with current challenges in the environmental social sciences. The remaining 6 titles are available separately.
