In Other Natures, Clara Bosak-Schroeder persuasively demonstrates how non-Greek communities affect and are in turn deeply affected by their local animals, plants, climate, and landscape. By exploring the works of seminal authors such as Herodotus and Diodorus Siculus, she shows how they used ethnography to explore, question, and challenge how Greeks themselves ate, procreated, nurtured, collaborated, accumulated, and consumed. In so doing, she recuperates an important strain of ancient thought that is directly relevant to vital questions and ideas being posed today by the environmental humanities-that human life and well-being are inextricable from the life and well-being of the nonhuman world. By turning to ancient ethnographies, we can uncover important models for confronting environmental crisis"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Ethnologists $z Greece $x History. 650 0 $a Ethnology $z Mediterranean Region $x History. 650 0 $a Human ecology $z Mediterranean Region. 651 0 $a Greece $x Historiography. $y To 146 B.C. $x Historiography. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Bosak-Schroeder, Clara. $t Other natures $d Oakland, California : University of California Press, [2020] $z 9780520974814 $w (DLC) 2019047683 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20221005015250.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=99E9A6D0A55F11EAA027EF1497128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
