{"product_id":"science-and-sensibility","title":"Science and Sensibility","description":"If humans are to understand and discover ways of addressing complex social and ecological problems, we first need to find intimacy with our particular places and communities. 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. Science and Sensibility 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.\nHe 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.","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54220357304664,"sku":"9780520285200","price":31.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780520285200_be2c51d0-f545-405d-b927-1c265edfbfeb.jpg?v=1768625129","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/science-and-sensibility","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
