Summary
Marija Geiger: On the other side of monoculture: traditional knowledge about the environment and the network of life
"...the book shows that what is commonly called the relationship between global and local (global thinking and local action) is not a mere theoretical abstraction, but that it comes to the fore in a special way in a local environment which, with its traditional knowledge about the environment, participates in the global panorama of ecological narratives, opinions and practices... Therefore, this book is instructive and interesting not only for the professional-scientific public and not only for studies of social and human sciences (sociology, ethnology, anthropology, history) but also for a wider readership that today is increasingly interested in the relationship between tradition and modernity-postmodernity, the preservation of nature..."
