Summary: | "How can cultural forms motivate people to care about their environment? While important scientific data about ecosystems is mushrooming, E.N. Anderson argues in this powerful new book that putting effective conservation into practice depends primarily on social solidarity and emotional factors. Marshaling decades of research on cultures across several continents, Anderson shows how societies have succeeded or failed to manage their environments sustainably based on collective engagements such as religion, art, song, myth and story." -- back cover
