"Combining sound scholarship with an engaging style, their fascinating and often humorous accounts reveal the vital connection between rural people and wildlife[.] The authors identify four major ecocultural revolutions that have significantly altered the relationship between people and nature. They suggest a fifth revolution, characterised by respect and understanding of the traditional knowledge and insight reflected in myth and memory, will enable modern society to develop nature conservation programs with a chance of lasting success."
