Local Science Vs Global Science: Approaches to Indigenous Knowledge in International Development
ISBN: 9781845450144 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 302 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. While science has achieved a remarkable understanding of nature, affording humans an astonishing technological capability, it has led, through Euro-American global domination, to the muting of other cultural views and values, even threatening their continued existence. There is a growing realization that the diversity of knowledge systems demand respect, some refer to them in a conservation idiom as alternative information banks. The scientific perspective is only one. We now have many examples of the soundness of local science and practices, some previously considered "primitive" and in...

Managing Animals in New Guinea: Preying the Game in the Highlands
ISBN: 9780415280976 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Looking at issues of zoological classification, hunting of wild animals and management of domesticated ones, notably pigs, this book asks how natural parameters affect people's livelihood strategies and their relations with animals and the wider environment. To Western eyes, the farming and foraging practices of the Wola New Guinea highlanders seem counter-productive. Attitudes to hunting are puzzling in their tolerance of low returns, while zoological taxonomies appear fractious and slippery. Closer inspection of Wola practices, however, enables a greater understanding of their underlying...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) With growing evidence of unsustainable use of the world's resources, such as hydrocarbon reserves, and related environmental pollution, as in alarming climate change predictions, sustainable development is arguably the prominent issue of the 21st century.

The aim is not only to change power relationships, but also engage with non-academic audiences. The advancement of...

ISBN: 9780815389842 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Originally published in 2004. Local knowledge reflects many generations of experience and problem solving by people around the world, increasingly affected by globalizing forces. Such knowledge is far more sophisticated than development professionals previously assumed and, as such, represents an immensely valuable resource. A growing number of governments and international development agencies are recognizing that local-level knowledge and organizations offer the foundation for new participatory models of development that are both cost-effective and sustainable, and ecologically and socially...
