Weinstock, Michael

Pap. New York, 2008

Book ID: 80044

An interdisciplinary study of the coevolution of human culture and the natural world and their mutual codependency. Drawing from life sciences, anthropology and archaeology, Weinstock analyses the complex systems that compose the natural and built environments to explain that it is through the episodic collapses and reorganizations of cultural and ecological orders that we can begin to understand the lifespan of material systems.
