{"product_id":"science-and-sensibility-9780520960756","title":"Science and Sensibility","description":"If humans are to understand and discover ways of addressing complex social and ecological problems, we first need to find intimacy with our particular places and communities. Cultivating a relationship to place often includes a negotiating process that involves both science and sensibility. While science is one key part of an adaptive and resilient society, the cultivation of a renewed sense of place and community is essential as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScience and Sensibility\u003c\/i\u003e argues for the need for ecology to engage with philosophical values and economic motivations in a political process of negotiation, with the goal of shaping humans' treatment of the natural world. Michael Vincent McGinnis aims to reframe ecology so it might have greater “trans-scientific” awareness of the roles and interactions among multiple stakeholders in socioecological systems, and he also maintains that deep ecological knowledge of specific places will be crucial to supporting a sustainable society. He uses numerous specific case studies from watershed, coastal, and marine habitats to illustrate how place-based ecological negotiation can occur, and how reframing our negotiation process can influence conservation, restoration, and environmental policy in effective ways.\u003cbr\u003e  ","brand":"Michael Vincent McGinnis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48200210776315,"sku":"9780520960756","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9780520960756.jpg?v=1772481982","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/science-and-sensibility-9780520960756","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
