{"product_id":"9781412910484","title":"Geographies of Nature: Societies, Environments, Ecologies","description":"Is human society so all-pervading that it makes sense to talk about the end of nature? Or are we living in a world where nature matters more than ever before? Geographies of Nature provides a reasoned and case-study-rich engagement with contemporary, nature practices, introducing readers to conventional understandings of nature while examining alternative accounts from different disciplines - where nature resists easy classification. Accessibly written, Geographies of Nature demonstrates how recent thinking has urgent relevance and impact on the ways in which we approach environmental problems and policies, from risk and biosecurity, to the conservation of rare species and the ways we understand and sustain our cities, to our relations with animals and other nonhumans and the ways in which culturenatures are organised nationally and internationally.\u003cp\u003eThe text: grounds the reader and proceeds to the explanation of more complex arguments progressively, uses text boxes to explain terms and develop arguments, uses case studies and examples throughout in order to make arguments that are applicable, accessible and that engage with nature practices. Geographies of Nature presents a new kind of environmental analysis, one that refuses to view nature as wholly separate to the human and non-human practices through which it is constantly made and remade. It will be essential reading for all students in geography, sociology, political science, cultural studies and science studies with an interest in nature, social theory and space.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSteve Hinchliffe is Reader in Environmental Geography at the Open University, Milton Keynes  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SAGE Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47055964176624,"sku":"9781412910484","price":157.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781412910484","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
