Description
Exploitation and Overexploitation in Societies Past and Present by Brigitta Benzing and Bernd Herrmann explores the complex relationships between human societies and the natural world. This study examines how resources have shaped the development of complex human societies, and how these interactions have led to exploitation strategies that will become increasingly important in this century. The authors draw on anthropology and historical anthropology perspectives to understand human societal complexes as systems that manage energy and matter. They argue that cultures are not just symbolic entities, but rather the result of an interaction between material prerequisites and emerging social structures. This book provides a thought-provoking analysis of the human-nature relationship and its implications for our understanding of society and the environment.
