Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A seminal anthropological work on the paradoxical relationship between human consciousness and the environment "Innovative, insightful, incandescent."-Arun Agrawal, author of Environmentality: Technologies of Government and the Making of Subjects This book asks age-old questions about the relationship between human consciousness and the environment: How do we think about our own thoughts and actions?
