Anotace
This book explores the changing significance of nature in daily life. The authors argue that there is no singular `nature' out there waiting to be saved. Rather, the authors provide a novel and compelling account of multiple `natures'. Nature is shown as irreducibly contested and embedded in highly diverse and ambivalent social practices. Demonstrating that all notions of nature are inextricably entangled in different forms of social life, the text elaborates the many ways in which the apparently natural world has been produced from within particular social practices. These are analyzed in terms of different senses, different times and the production of distinct spaces, including the local, the national and the global.The authors emphasize the importance of cultural understandings of the physical world, highlighting the ways in which these have been routinely misunderstood by academic and policy discourses. They show that popular conceptions of, and attitudes to, nature are often contradictory and that there are no simple ways of prevailing upon people to `save the environment'. While environmental risks permeate everyday life, people often lack a powerful sense of agency and have little faith in states and corporations to safeguard the planet.
