Description for Ecoscapes
Hardback. Num Pages: 280 pages, illustrations. BIC Classification: WZ. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 237 x 170 x 22. Weight in Grams: 481.
This volume's concept, 'ecoscape,' has been formed for the purpose of comprehending the spatial configuration (geography) of an ecosystem. Using this method, the contributors place emphasis not on things, but on the spatial patternings of relations and interrelations. Through the related notion of economy, conceptualized as the management of the ecoscape, contributors investigate ethical problems and value choices in light of the way that we are contextualized in the world. By envisioning specific environments as spatial processes of events composed of interrelated patternings, the co-editors intend to provide a fresh approach for framing the problems that beset our world.

Reviews for Ecoscapes
This volume creatively opens up and critically explores an engaging theoretical space and suggestive cultural perspective with the notion of the 'ecoscape'—Backhaus' and Murungi's robust new geographical and philosophical idea. . . . Rooted within the broader framework of 'geophilia'—literally, love of the earth—this work shows the promise and productive power of a novel and emerging concept, one that should ... Read more
