Description
In this work Tim Ingold offers a persuasive new approach to understanding how human beings perceive their surroundings. This book is essential reading not only for anthropologists but also for biologists, psychologists, archaeologists, geographers and philosophers.
"Tim Ingold's rigorous and imaginative approach to modes of perception as practices involving entire organisms in relations with others is unmatched in contemporary anthropology. This work, drawing on scholarship from across the arts and sciences, addresses foundational questions within and well beyond anthropology’s four fields. His new preface outlining some of the ways he has since developed these ideas is inspirational."
Gillian Feeley-Harnik, University of Michigan, USA
"The Perception of the Environment is a formidable work in terms of its intellectual breadth ... its sheer volume ... and methodical consistency and clarity."
Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute
" ... this is an extremely significant book and quite possibly lives up to its promise "to revolutionize the way we think". The book's power lies in its ability to push readers to places previously unimagined ... it is imperative that this book be read by as many people from as broad an audience as possible."
