Biography

Helen Kopnina is assistant professor of environmental anthropology at the Institute of Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology at Leiden University, the Netherlands. She is also a coordinator and lecturer within the Sustainable Business Program and researcher in the fields of environmental education and environmental social sciences at The Hague University of Applied Sciences, the Netherlands.

Eleanor Shoreman-Ouimet is an environmental anthropologist and currently teaches in the Anthropology Department at the University of Connecticut, USA. Her research focuses on human–environment interactions, cross-cultural conservation practices, community response to natural hazards, and the effects of climate change.

"It is an informative and enlightening read for accomplished academics and new scholars in anthropology, ecology and conservation or similar related disciplines. Although geared primarily toward social anthropologists this book provides a plentiful source of up-to-date references and case studies for anyone with a general interest in environmental anthropology or wishing to delve deeper into associated subject areas, coming from a biological conservation or social science background. It offers a uniquely holistic overview of anthropology, taking as its point of departure pressing environmental challenges, whilst effectively conveying the message that anthropologists should look beyond their subject and adopt an interdisciplinary approach when exploring social and environmental issues."
