Not Just Green, Not Just White : Race, Justice, and Environmental History
Not Just Green, Not Just White brings together a group of diverse contributors to explore the rich intersections between race and environment.Together these contributors demonstrate that the field of environmental history, with its core questions and critical engagement with the nonhuman world, provides a fertile context for understanding racism and ongoing colonialism as power structures in the United States. Earlier historiography has defined environmental history as the study of the changing relationships between humans and the environment—or nature.This volume aims to redefine the field, arguing that neither humans nor environment are monolithic actors in any given story.Both humans and the environment are diverse, and often the environment causes conflict between and among peoples, leaving unequal access and power in its wake.Just as important, these histories often reveal how, despite unequal power, those who carry less privilege still persist. Together these essays demonstrate the promise of the field of environmental history and reveal how, when practitioners in the field decide to move away from “green” and “white” topics, they will be able to explain much more about our collective past than anyone ever imagined.

We Must Not Be Enemies : Restoring America's Civic Tradition
At the end of his first inaugural address, delivered to a nation deeply divided and on the brink of civil war, Abraham Lincoln concluded, “We are not enemies, but friends.We must not be enemies.” Lincoln’s words ring true today, especially for a new generation raised on political discourse that consists of vitriolic social media and the echo chambers of polarized news media.In We Must Not Be Enemies, Michael Austin combines American history, classical theories of democracy, and cognitive psychology to argue that the health of our democracy depends on our ability to disagree about important things while remaining friends.He argues that individual citizens can dramatically improve the quality of our democracy by changing the way that we interact with one another.Each of his main chapters advances a single argument, supported by contemporary evidence and drawing on lessons from American history.The seven arguments at the heart of the book are:1. We need to learn how to be better friends with people we disagree with. 2. We should disagree more with people we already consider our friends. 3. We should argue for things and not just against things. 4. We have a moral responsibility to try to persuade other people to adopt positions that we consider morally important. 5. We have to understand what constitutes a good argument if we want to do more than shout at people and call them names. 6. We must realize that we are wrong about a lot of things that we think we are right about. 7. We should treat people with charity and kindness, not out of a sense of moral duty (though that’s OK too), but because these are good rhetorical strategies in a democratic society. For anyone disturbed by the increasingly coarse and confrontational tone of too much of our political dialogue, We Must Not Be Enemies provides an essential starting point to restore the values that have provided the foundation for America’s tradition of democratic persuasion.

What is the difference between culture and tradition?
Culture refers to the beliefs, customs, arts, and social behaviors of a particular group of people, encompassing a broader range of practices and values. On the other hand, tradition specifically refers to the customs and practices that are passed down from generation to generation within a specific community or society. While culture is more dynamic and can evolve over time, traditions tend to be more static and rooted in history and heritage.

Is man a creature of nature or culture, or is culture the nature of man?
Man is a complex being influenced by both nature and culture. While humans are inherently part of the natural world, our behaviors, beliefs, and practices are largely shaped by the societies we live in. Culture can be seen as the nature of man in the sense that it is a fundamental aspect of human existence, shaping our identities and interactions with the world. Ultimately, the relationship between nature and culture is intertwined in shaping the essence of humanity.

Is man a being of nature or culture, or is culture the nature of man?

Hearsay Is Not Excluded : A History of Natural History
This chronicle of natural history argues that the modern environmental crisis and rise in science skepticism codeveloped with the historic distancing of scientific knowledge from folk knowledge For millennia, the field of natural history promoted a knowledgeable and unifying view of the world.In contrast, the modern rise of narrow scientific disciplines has promoted a dichotomy between nature and culture on the one hand and between scientific and folk knowledge on the other.Drawing on the fields of anthropology, history, and environmental science, Michael R.Dove argues that the loss of this historic holistic vision of the world is partly to blame for contemporary environmental degradation and science skepticism. Dove bases this thesis on a study of four pioneering natural historians across four centuries: Georg Eberhard Rumphius (seventeenth century), Carl Linnaeus (eighteenth century), Alfred Russel Wallace (nineteenth century), and Harold C.Conklin (twentieth century). Dove studies their field craft and writing; the political, cultural, and environmental circumstances in which they worked; the sources of their insight; and the implications of their work for modern society.Most of all, the book seeks to discover what enabled those natural historians to straddle boundaries that today seem impassable and to distill that wisdom for a modern world greatly in need of a holistic vision of people and environment.

New Zealand History and Cultural Environment : Early history, Settlement, People and Tradition, Polynesians, Maori culture
New Zealand History and Cultural Environment. Early history, Settlement, People and Tradition, Polynesians, Maori culture.Contemporary New Zealand has a majority of people of European origin, a significant minority of Maori, and smaller numbers of people from Pacific islands and Asia.In the early 21st century, Asians were the fastest-growing demographic group.New Zealand was one of the last sizable land areas suitable for habitation to be populated by human beings.The first settlers were Polynesians who traveled from somewhere in eastern Polynesia, possibly from what is now French Polynesia.They remained isolated in New Zealand until the arrival of European explorers, the first of whom was the Dutch navigator Abel Janszoon Tasman in 1642.Demographers estimate that, by the time British naval captain James Cook visited the country in 1769, the Maori population was not much greater than 100,000.They had no name for themselves but eventually adopted the name Maori (meaning "normal") to distinguish themselves from the Europeans, who, after Cook's voyage, began to arrive with greater frequency

Not by Genes Alone : How Culture Transformed Human Evolution
Humans are a striking anomaly in the natural world.While we are similar to other mammals in many ways, our behavior sets us apart.Our unparalleled ability to adapt has allowed us to occupy virtually every habitat on earth, and our societies are larger, more complex, and more cooperative than any other mammal's.In "Not by Genes Alone", Peter J. Richerson and Robert Boyd argue that only a Darwinian theory of cultural evolution can explain these unique characteristics. "Not by Genes Alone" offers a radical interpretation of human evolution, arguing that our ecological dominance and our singular social systems stem from a psychology uniquely adapted to create complex culture.Richerson and Boyd consider culture to be essential to human adaptation, as much a part of human biology as bipedal locomotion.Drawing on work in the fields of anthropology, political science, sociology, and economics - and building their case with such fascinating examples as kayaks, clever knots, and yams that require twelve men to carry them - Richerson and Boyd convincingly demonstrate that culture and biology are inextricably linked. In abandoning the nature-versus-nurture debate as fundamentally misconceived, "Not by Genes Alone" is a truly original and groundbreaking theory of the role of culture in evolution and a book to be reckoned with for generations to come.
