The third volume in the reader series, \u2018Themes in Environmental History\u2019: comprising essays selected from our journals, Environment and History<\/em> and Environmental Values<\/em>, these inexpensive paperbacks address important aspects of environmental history by means of theoretical essays and case studies. Indigenous Knowledge<\/em> investigates how indigenous peoples from various cultures interact with and conceptualise their environments, past and present; it offers accounts of indigenous conservation practice and traditional environmental knowledge alongside challenging explorations of how \u2018knowledge\u2019 is filtered through ideologies and subjectivities, from the Western scientific worldview to individual memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
