Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A seminal anthropological work on the paradoxical relationship between human consciousness and the environment "Innovative, insightful, incandescent."-Arun Agrawal, author of Environmentality: Technologies of Government and the Making of Subjects This book asks age-old questions about the relationship between human consciousness and the environment: How do we think about our own thoughts and actions? How can we transcend the exigencies of daily life? How can we achieve sufficient distance from our own everyday realities to think and act more sustainably? To address these questions, Michael R. Dove draws on the results of decades of research in South and Southeast Asia on how local cultures have circumvented the "curse of consciousness"-the paradox that we cannot completely comprehend the ecosystem of which we are part.
