Description

Explore the diverse ways human societies interact with the mineral world in Soils, Stones and Symbols. Published by Routledge, this collection presents ethnographic and archaeological research that challenges the idea of minerals as mere commodities or passive objects of study. By examining various studies from anthropology, archaeology, and philosophy, this book reveals how different cultures perceive the earth. The content covers a wide range of historical and geographic contexts, including contemporary India, colonial-period Australia, and prehistoric Europe and the Americas. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of how mineral resources are viewed through different cultural lenses rather than just as tools for economic gain. This text is an essential resource for those interested in how human history and cultural identity are linked to the physical substances of our planet.
