Traversing a range of cultures, including the Tohono O�odham of the Sonoran Desert and the Rar�muri of the Sierra Tarahumara, the book is an illuminating journey through the southwest United States and northern Mexico. Salm�n weaves his historical and cultural knowledge as a renowned indigenous ethnobotanist with stories American Indian farmers have shared with him to illustrate how traditional indigenous foodways�from the cultivation of crops to the preparation of meals�are rooted in a time-honored understanding of environmental stewardship.In this fascinating personal narrative, Salm�n focuses on an array of indigenous farmers who uphold traditional agricultural practices in the face of modern changes to food systems such as extensive industrialization and the genetic modification of food crops. Despite the vast cultural and geographic diversity of the region he explores, Salm�n reveals common themes: the importance of participation in a reciprocal relationship with the land, the connection between each group�s cultural identity and their ecosystems, and the indispensable correlation of land consciousness and food consciousness. Salm�n shows that these collective philosophies provide the foundation for indigenous resilience as the farmers contend with global climate change and other disruptions to long-established foodways. This resilience, along with the rich stores of traditional ecological knowledge maintained by indigenous agriculturalists, Salm�n explains, may be the key to sustaining food sources for humans in years to come.As many of us begin to question the origins and collateral costs of the food we consume, Salm�n�s call for a return to more traditional food practices in this wide-ranging and insightful book is especially timely. Eating the Landscape is an essential resource for ethnobotanists, food sovereignty proponents, and advocates of the local food and slow food movements.

As a mythical creature, the whale has been responsible for many transformations in the world. It is an enchanting being that humans have long felt a connection to. In the contemporary environmental imagination, whales are charismatic megafauna feeding our environmentalism and aspirations for a better and more sustainable future.Using multispecies ethnography, Whale Snow explores how everyday the relatedness of the Iñupiat of Arctic Alaska and the bowhead whale forms and transforms “the human” through their encounters with modernity. Whale Snow shows how the people live in the world that intersects with other beings, how these connections came into being, and, most importantly, how such intimate and intense relations help humans survive the social challenges incurred by climate change. In this time of ecological transition, exploring multispecies relatedness is crucial as it keeps social capacities to adapt relational, elastic, and resilient.In the Arctic, climate, culture, and human resilience are connected through bowhead whaling. In Whale Snow we see how climate change disrupts this ancient practice and, in the process, affects a vital expression of Indigenous sovereignty. Ultimately, though, this book offers a story of hope grounded in multispecies resilience.Note: The cover art, x-ray whale, was designed by Nasu?raq Rainey Hopson, an Iñupiaq educator, artist, and environmentalist who was born and raised on the North Slope of Alaska. Hopson’s artwork tells many stories, and they often point to a positive reciprocal relationship that goes across the boundary of humans and nonhuman animals. (Canada and USA) . Dennis C. Wendt.
