"Joy Hendry argues that Western science alone cannot ensure sustainable living for the future. In this fascinating, thought-provoking, and very readable study, based upon years of meticulous original research, she invites us to redefine our concept of 'science' in a way that can incorporate insights drawn from many cultures around the globe. She suggests that such a co-operative approach to solving the world's problems is the best way forward." - Allan Chapman, Historian of Science, Oxford University, UK
"Drawing on extensive fieldwork, Joy Hendry provides an insightful and engaging account of the knowledge developed by indigenous communities and the ways in which it continues to underpin cultural practice in societies all around the world. Science and Sustainability is a must for anyone interested in the history, definition, study, and representation of science." - Marcel Vellinga, author of Constituting Unity and Difference: Vernacular Architecture in a Minangkabau Village (2004)

Buchbeschreibung Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Indigenous peoples have passed down vital knowledge for generations from which local plants help cure common ailments, to which parts of the land are unsuitable for buildings because of earthquakes. Here, Hendry examines science through these indigenous roots, problematizing the idea that Western science is the only type that deserves that name. Artikel-Nr. 9781137435903
