Cultivating a relationship to place often includes a negotiating process that involves both science and sensibility. While science is one key part of an adaptive and resilient society, the cultivation of a renewed sense of place and community is essential as well. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eScience and Sensibility\u003c\/i\u003e argues for the need for ecology to engage with philosophical values and economic motivations in a political process of negotiation, with the goal of shaping humans' treatment of the natural world. Michael Vincent McGinnis aims to reframe ecology so it might have greater \"trans-scientific\" awareness of the roles and interactions among multiple stakeholders in socioecological systems, and he also maintains that deep ecological knowledge of specific places will be crucial to supporting a sustainable society. He uses numerous specific case studies from watershed, coastal, and marine habitats to illustrate how place-based ecological negotiation can occur, and how reframing our negotiation process can influence conservation, restoration, and environmental policy in effective ways. \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46290037964951,"sku":"9780520285194","price":8915.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780520285194.webp?v=1769303874","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/science-and-sensibility-negotiating-an-ecology-of-place-9780520285194","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
