Environmental anthropology is at its best when firmly grounded in respectful and systematic ethnographic research and writing that spotlights uncommon perspectives on widely recognized issues confronting the world. Intentionally crafted for undergraduate course use in anthropology, geography, and environmental studies, Sustaining Natures showcases the best contemporary writing on nature and sustainability. With concise introductions and sample discussion questions, the editors guide readers through some of the field’s most pressing themes and debates, including farming, alternative energy, extractive industries, environmental justice, multispecies relationships, and urban ecology. This timely reader foregrounds diverse voices, views, and experiences of nature, from US corporate boardrooms to urban waste disposal sites in China, and moves environmental anthropology in new theoretical, methodological, and applied terrains.
Perilously close to sea level and vulnerable to floods, erosion, and cyclones, Bangladesh is one of the top recipients of development aid earmarked for climate change adaptation. Yet to what extent do adaptation projects address local needs and concerns? Combining environmental history and ethnographic fieldwork with development professionals, rural farmers, and landless women, Misreading the Bengal Delta critiques development narratives of Bangladesh as a "climate change victim." It examines how development actors repackage colonial-era modernizing projects, which have caused severe environmental effects, as climate-adaptation solutions. Seawalls meant to mitigate against cyclones and rising sea levels instead silt up waterways and induce drainage-related flooding. Other adaptation projects, from saline aquaculture to high-yield agriculture, threaten soil fertility, biodiversity, and livelihoods. Bangladesh’s environmental crisis goes beyond climate change, extending to coastal vulnerabilities that are entwined with underemployment, debt, and the lack of universal healthcare.
This timely book analyzes how development actors create flawed causal narratives linking their interventions in the environment and society of the Global South to climate change. Ultimately, such misreadings risk exacerbating climatic threats and structural inequalities.
Misreading the Bengal Delta is available in an open access edition through the Sustainable History Monograph Pilot, thanks to the generous support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

We all seek for, more blissful, meaningful, reliable, and sustainable everyday life, starting from our own self. Understanding of the commonly misunderstood, and unclear relationships among all the existences, provide us greatly profound functional wisdom. Logically, it could also be the simplest path for Exponential Pleasure for all.
Briefly, when we believe in Soul based Solutions and act on, it would greatly benefit. In simple, it would be by Respecting and Offering Reasonable Goodness for all, and Rationally Requiring the same from all involved. When it is followed consistently, it would lead to lasting success, peace and pleasure for all.
It is about every single individual's happiness starting from our own self.
We have got All and Beyond to create a Blissful World. But the willingness of ignorant souls that feasibly can. Contribution of ALL involved, sensibly with No Exceptions is must.
At any level feasible, we must try to attain Complete Goodness given the circumstances, and then carry on afterwards equitably. We must rationally help each other as we are helping our own selves - Naturally or at least for our own Unexplainable Soul's Goodness that Pushes for the Hidden Eternal Happiness. During this journey, if properly realized and understood, for even small Goodness we produce, we forward ourselves to further True Joy that we cannot conceivably articulate. For reliable happiness, we might make mistakes along the way that need not stop this Soul's Goodness Journey.
Profound patterns recommend that all start from individuals and their own seeking for happiness. Irrespective of the numerous believes, our existence is the most important and our own happiness is the paramount for each of us. How we achieve such, plausibly Sustainable Happiness, could differ among us.
It is fundamentally important that Collective understanding of, various profound ideas and beliefs. Notably, Questions on how to Solve essential problems. As a whole, it would define the Future of the most intelligent beings ever existed - The Human Kind
No need for any compelling complex-sacrilege tests, but some basic levels of willingness and openness in the Good Soul conversation, without need for any comparing, conflicting or concluding on one's views are better than the other's. Rather, through complacent mutual complements; just pure seeking, asking, listening, possible mutual learning, consuming, benefiting, enjoying, and finally Thanking for each other.

The End of the Soul Solution Search for reasonable common problems and sufferings. The Dawn of the Completely Eternal Bliss for All - Starting from You
Thank you Have a Great Day-Every Day
Sincerely - A Fellow Soul,

The economic prosperity of two nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century New England towns rested on factories that manufactured piano keys, billiard balls, combs, and other items made of ivory imported from East Africa. Yet while towns like Ivoryton and Deep River, Connecticut, thrived, the African ivory trade left in its wake massive human exploitation and ecological devastation. At the same time, dynamic East African engagement with capitalism and imperialism took place within these trade histories.
Drawing from extensive archival and field research in New England, Great Britain, and Tanzania, Alexandra Kelly investigates the complex global legacies of the historical ivory trade. She not only explains the complexities of this trade but also analyzes Anglo-American narratives about Africa, questioning why elephants and ivory feature so centrally in those representations. From elephant conservation efforts to the cultural heritage industries in New England and East Africa, her study reveals the ongoing global repercussions of the ivory craze and will be of interest to anthropologists, archaeologists, historians, and conservationists.

Swidden agriculture has long been considered the primary cause of deforestation throughout Southeast Asia, and the Philippine government has used this belief to exclude the indigenous people of Palawan Island from their ancestral lands and to force them to abandon traditional modes of land use. After adopting ostensibly modern and ecologically sustainable livelihoods, the Pala’wan people have experienced drought and uncertain weather patterns, which they have blamed on their own failure to observe traditional social norms that are believed to regulate climate—norms that, like swidden agriculture, have been outlawed by the state.
In this ethnographic case study, Will Smith asks how those who have contributed least to greenhouse gas emissions and environmental degradation have come to position themselves as culpable for the devastating impacts of climate change, examining their statements about changing weather, processes of dispossession, and experiences of climate-driven hunger. By engaging both forest policy and local realities, he suggests that reckoning with these complexities requires reevaluating and questioning key wisdoms in global climate-change policy: What is indigenous knowledge, and who should it serve? Who is to blame for the vulnerability of the rural poor? What, and who, belongs in tropical forests?

In the Qing period (1644–1912), China's population tripled, and the flurry of new development generated unprecedented demand for timber. Standard environmental histories have often depicted this as an era of reckless deforestation, akin to the resource misuse that devastated European forests at the same time. This comprehensive new study shows that the reality was more complex: as old-growth forests were cut down, new economic arrangements emerged to develop renewable timber resources.
Historian Meng Zhang traces the trade routes that connected population centers of the Lower Yangzi Delta to timber supplies on China's southwestern frontier. She documents innovative property rights systems and economic incentives that convinced landowners to invest years in growing trees. Delving into rare archives to reconstruct business histories, she considers both the formal legal mechanisms and the informal interactions that helped balance economic profit with environmental management. Of driving concern were questions of sustainability: How to maintain a reliable source of timber across decades and centuries? And how to sustain a business network across a thousand miles? This carefully constructed study makes a major contribution to Chinese economic and environmental history and to world-historical discourses on resource management, early modern commercialization, and sustainable development.
