Description
Tim Ingold's groundbreaking work offers a new perspective on how humans perceive their surroundings. He argues that cultural variation is rooted in variations in skill, which are both biological and culturally grown through practice.
The Perception of the Environment brings together approaches from social anthropology, ecological psychology, developmental biology, and phenomenology to explore the procurement of livelihood, dwelling, and the nature of skill. This comprehensive collection of 23 essays challenges traditional notions of what it means to be human in relation to our environment.
