The Indoor People's Nature Cecilie Rubow 1. izdevums

We spend most of our lives indoors. In this book, Danish anthropologist Cecilie Rubow explores the impact that this way of life has on our understanding of nature and our approach to dealing with the ecological crises the world faces. The author follows in the footsteps of beach people, bird people, environmentalists and climate activists. It is a journey full of magic, surprises and critique, which leads to the realisation that there is not just one nature, but many, and that we come across it where least expected. The book also serves an introduction to new anthropological thinking about how ecological crises call for new ways of conceptualising nature.
