Description

Explore the complex relationship between human society and the natural world in Human Ecology as Human Behavior. This collection of essays by Bennett examines how human beings have transitioned from low-technology survival pressures to a state of resource management. While the ability to turn natural substances into physical resources has provided freedom from certain constraints, it has also created a new kind of dependence. Through the lens of developmental anthropology, these essays analyze what Bennett calls "socionatural systems." These are frameworks where human behavior and environmental management are so deeply connected that even minor changes in the system can result in significant consequences. This book provides a deep look into the philosophy and practical realities of how our social structures and the environment are interlocked. It is a necessary read for those studying the ways in which human ecology shapes the direction of social evolution and environmental stability.
