Aboriginal Environmental Knowledge (eBook, PDF)

Rational Reverence

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book is based on a grounded and broad assessment of less well known details of Aboriginal knowledge and provides both a great deal of detail and a new assessment of rituals and practices. An important and unique finding of this volume is that Aboriginal environmental knowledge also includes knowledge about education for attitudes considered appropriate for survival, a concept not depicted within previous subject literature.
