Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - For more than a century biologists have tried to unlock the mystery of salmon behavior, and in the process they have made science very much a part of the salmon we know. For sociologist Rik Scarce, salmon represent an opportunity to probe the relationship of science, society, and nature. Using Pacific salmon and the biologists who study the fish, this book explores the question: where does society end and nature begin. Artikel-Nr. 9781566397292
