BEYOND THE LENS OF CONSERVATION<\/a>
\nMalagasy and Swiss Imaginations of One Another
\nEva Keller<\/p>\n

Volume 20, Environmental Anthropology and Ethnobiology<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThis book will make a great addition to undergraduate courses on Anthropology of the Environment and\/or Development or Political Ecology. Keller\u2019s highly readable style, in turn, will satisfy both those new to the subject and scholars already familiar with the topics of conservation practice in Madagascar. It could even become an important resource for those conservation experts who are trying \u2013 and (as the study shows) failing \u2013 to establish connections between distant places and people.\u201d \u00b7<\/em> Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute

FOOTPRINTS IN PARADISE<\/a>
\nEcotourism, Local Knowledge, and Nature Therapies in Okinawa
\nAndrea E. Murray<\/p>\n

Volume 40, New Directions in Anthropology<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Footprints in Paradise<\/em> explores the transformation in community and sense of place as Okinawans come to view themselves through the lens of the visiting tourist consumer, and as their language, landscapes, and wildlife are reconstituted as treasured and vulnerable resources. The rediscovery and revaluing of local ecological knowledge strengthens Okinawan or Uchinaa cultural heritage, despite the controversial presence of US military bases amidst a hegemonic Japanese state.<\/p>\n

GLOBAL SUSTAINABILITY AND COMMUNITIES OF PRACTICE<\/a>
\nEdited by Carl A. Maida and Sam Beck<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nSigns of Performance in Yosemite National Park
\nSally Ann Ness<\/p>\n

Volume 8, Dance and Performance Studies<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This original and cross-disciplinary book offers an ethnographic and performative study of Yosemite visitors in order to understand human connection with and within natural landscapes. By grounding a novel \u201ceco-semiotic\u201d analysis in the lived reality of parkgoers, it forges surprising connections, assembling a collective account that will be of interest to disciplines ranging from performance studies to cultural geography.<\/p>\n

\nThresholds of Identities and Illusions on an African Landscape
\nStuart A. Marks<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cFew academic books display such depth as does this one, but then few anthropologists devote over five decades to the same communities and issues. Anthropologist Marks first worked among Zambia’s Valley Bisa people in 1966, returning frequently for further research. The result is a masterwork of description, interpretation, and self-reflection.\u201d<\/em> \u2022 Choice<\/strong><\/p>\n

Volume 21, Protest, Culture & Society<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201dThis timely volume is a must read for students, academics, researchers, and conservation practitioners and wildlife managers.
