Environmental Anthropology: From Pigs to Policies

Rating:
Summary: A useful book for the general public interested in ecology
Review: I have twice used Townsend's book in a mixed graduate/undergraduate class on cultural ecology and found it quite satisfactory. The style and vocabulary are accessible to anyone with a high school education. The author presents the basic concepts of human and environmental ecology in a brief and comprehensible way. The book could be of use in either a general introductory course, I specialized class like mine, or an area class on the South Pacific. I recommend it highly.
