Flüsse sind (genauso wie Meere oder Gebirge) seit jeher ein prägender Bestandteil von Räumen. Sie dienen als natürliche Grenzen, formen den Charakter einer Landschaft und prägen das Bild ganzer Regionen. Für die Wahrnehmung eines geografischen Raumes spielen Flüsse daher eine ganz wesentliche Rolle, und sie sind selbst aktiv an der Konstitution von Räumen beteiligt. In politischer Hinsicht sind Flüsse oftmals umkämpfte Grenzen oder Orte kriegerischer Auseinandersetzungen und können zur Projektionsfläche für nationale Diskurse werden. Gleichzeitig bilden sie aber auch Räume des Kontakts, in denen kulturelle Transfer- und Austauschprozesse stattfinden; als solche tragen sie entscheidend zur Herausbildung von Raumkulturen bzw. zur Entstehung von Kulturräumen bei. Die Vielfalt der Flusslandschaften zu umreißen und zugleich den Begriff zu konturieren, ist ein Ziel des vorliegenden Bandes.

"Sarah Neidhardt grew up in the backwoods. She was an infant when her parents joined the back-to-the-land movement, uprooting their young family to move to an isolated piece of land deep in the Arkansas Ozarks, where they built a cabin, grew crops, and for years strove to achieve an ideal of agrarian self-sufficiency. In Twenty Acres: A Seventies Childhood in the Woods, Neidhardt revisits her childhood with compassion and candor. She retraces her parents' journey-from their affluent youth, to their embrace of pioneer homemaking and rural poverty, to their sudden and wrenching return to conventional society-using a trove of family letters and archival research. As she comes to better understand her family and the movement that shaped them, Neidhardt reveals both the treasures and tolls of their unconventional lives and offers a fresh perspective on what it means to aspire to a preindustrial life in the modern world"-- Provided by publisher.

"With a deep, anticolonial and antiracist critique and analysis of what "conservation" currently is, Decolonize Conservation presents an alternative vision-one already working-of the most effective and just way to fight against biodiversity loss and climate change. Through the voices of largely silenced or invisibilized Indigenous Peoples and local communities, the devastating consequences of making 30 percent of the globe "Protected Areas," and other so-called "Nature-Based Solutions" are made clear. Evidence proves indigenous people understand and manage their environment better than anyone else. Eighty percent of the Earth's biodiversity is in tribal territories and when indigenous peoples have secure rights over their land, they achieve at least equal if not better conservation results at a fraction of the cost of conventional conservation programs. But in Africa and Asia, governments and NGOs are stealing vast areas of land from tribal peoples and local communities under the false claim that this is necessary for conservation. As the editors write, "This is colonialism pure and simple: powerful global interests are shamelessly taking land and resources from vulnerable people while claiming they are doing it for the good of humanity." The powerful collection of voices from the groundbreaking "Our Land, Our Nature" congress takes us to the heart of the climate justice movement and the struggle for life and land across the globe. With Indigenous Peoples and their rights at its center, the book exposes the brutal and deadly reality of colonial and racist conservation for people around the world, while revealing the problems of current climate policy approaches that do nothing to tackle the real causes of environmental destruction."--Amazon.com viewed July 11, 2023.

"In the Pacific, as elsewhere, Indigenous communities live with the consequences of environmental mismanagement and over-exploitation but rarely benefit from the short-term economic profits such actions may generate within the global system. National and international policy frameworks ultimately rely on local community assent. Without effective local participation and partnership, these extremely imposed frameworks miss out on millennia of local observation and understanding and seldom deliver viable and sustained environmental, cultural and economic benefits at the local level. This collection argues that environmental sustainability, indigenous political empowerment and economic viability will succeed only by taking account of distinct local contexts and cultures. In this regard, these Pacific Indigenous case studies offer 'islands of hope' for all communities marginalised by increasingly intrusive--and increasingly rapid--technological changes and by global dietary, economic, political and military forces with whom they have no direct contact or influence." - taken from publisher website.

"William Balée has studied Amazonian societies and their tropical rainforests over his forty-year career. He is a world-renowned expert on the cultural and historical ecology of the Amazon basin. His 2013 book with The University of Alabama Press, Cultural Forests of the Amazon: A Historical Ecology of People and Their Landscapes, framed a number of his previously published articles (some from what he termed "obscure" journals) with new chapter contributions to present a powerful account of how indigenous people of the Amazon intentionally and rationally transformed the landscapes and managed the resources of the rainforests before Europeans arrived. Sowing the Forest is a companion volume in this model, combining refashioned, previously published articles with new material. It is a work of historical ecology and delves heavily into linguistics. It deals with how, over centuries, Amazonian people and their cultures have interacted with rainforests, making the landscapes of palm forests and other kinds of forests, and how these and related forests have fed back into the vocabulary and behavior of current indigenous occupants of the remotest parts of the vast Amazonian hinterlands. The book describes specific interrelationships between tropical peoples and those landscapes in terms of the forests they live in and manage (rather than adapt to). In general, the volume describes how their language and vocabulary are reflected in the landscape transformations that their ancestors and other past peoples have effected, and in some cases vocabulary has been completely lost because of colonialism. The book is divided into two parts. Part 1, "Substrate of Intentionality," comprises chapters on historical ecology, indigenous palm forests, plant names in Amazonia, origins of the Amazonian plantain, and unknown "Dark Earth People" of thousands of years ago and their landscaping. Balée notes that these chapters "reflect how the feedback between culture and environment ends up as a complete, coherent, explicable phenomenon in and of itself." In part 2, "Scope of Transformation," Balée lays out his theory of landscape transformation, which he terms "primary" and "secondary." Primary landscape transformation involves humans effecting complete species turnover, and secondary landscape transformation involves humans effecting partial species turnover. He provides examples of both kinds of landscape transformation and various specific effects. He also compares environmental and social interrelationships, for example, in an Orang Asli group in Malaysia and the Ka'apor people of eastern Amazonian Brazil. Another chapter covers loss of language and culture resulting from primary landscape transformation in the Bolivian Amazon. A final chapter addresses the controversial topic of monumentality (does it exist?) in the rainforest. His on-the-ground research has shown that monumentality indeed exists in great numbers (e.g., Bolivian mounds, the Brazil nut groves of the Xingu Basin, and the Acre geoglyphs), with more examples being discovered apace with deforestation. Balée ends by emphasizing the common thread in Amazonian historical ecology: the long-term phenomenon of encouraging diversity for its own sake, not just for economic reasons"-- Provided by publisher.

"By focusing on the human gaze, or how people interpret their relationship with land, Sumit Guha traces the longue durée of the political ecology of empire in South Asia during the age of empires. This relationship is in most sharp relief when comparing the exploitative and extractive practices of the Mughal Empire and the industrial British Raj as these imperial regimes encountered a large and old agrarian society. While scholars of South Asia regularly dwell on the destructive nature of British policies in South Asia, Guha integrates the cultural turn in environmental studies with the complex imperial rivalries that defined South Asia from the fifteenth through the mid-twentieth century to demonstrate how land use is defined through matrices of competing geographic expertise, too often in service of distant courts and environmental degradation"-- Provided by publisher.

Drawing on ethnographic work with oceanographers and coastal engineers in the Netherlands, the United States, Australia, Japan, and Bangladesh, Helmreich details how scientists at sea and in the lab apprehend waves' materiality through abstractions, seeking to capture in technical language these avatars of nature at once periodic and irreversible, wild and pacific, ephemeral and eternal. For researchers and their publics, the meanings of waves also reflect visions of the ocean as an environmental infrastructure fundamental to trade, travel, warfare, humanitarian rescue, recreation, and managing sea level rise. Interleaving ethnographic chapters with reflections on waves in mythology, surf culture, feminist theory, film, Indigenous Pacific activisms, Black Atlantic history, cosmology, and more, Helmreich demonstrates how waves mark out the wakes and breaks of social histories and futures"-- Provided by publisher.

This volume represents a bold attempt by the editors to bring scholars from distinct research orientations together, to discuss the interplay between the geographic and social dimensions of different kinds of interaction networks. Within the humanities, networks afford an umbrella of approaches to the study of social relations and their patterning, both through qualitative and quantitative applications, with two main perspectives standing out: those centered.

When we think ""climate change, "" we think of man-made global warming, caused by greenhouse gas emissions. But natural climate change has occurred throughout human history, and populations have had to adapt to its vicissitudes. Tony McMichael, a renowned epidemiologist and a pioneer in the field of how human health relates to climate change, is the ideal guide to this phenomenon, and in his magisterial Climate Change and the Health of Nations, he presents a sweeping and authoritative analysis of how human societies have been shaped by climate events
