LANDSCAPES OF RETREAT

SECOND EDITION

di ELKIN R. S.
Editore: IDEA BOOKS  (2025)

Descrizione

'Landscapes of Retreat' explores climate adaptation through portraits of land left behind as settlement patterns shift with a changing climate. Here, landscape refers to the earth alive with creatures and organisms, while retreat suggests human patterns are fluid and adaptable. Featuring field studies from Nijinomatsubara Forest (Japan), Maule River (Chile), Niugtaq Village (Alaska), Langtang Park (Nepal), and Gaspésie Peninsula (Québec), the stories emphasize that valuing landscapes fosters community resilience. Cutting across history, fieldwork, and geography, 'Landscapes of Retreat' rethinks change as a shared pathway toward adaptive, collaborative climate futures. Winner of the 2024 J.B. Jackson Book Award from the Landscape Studies Initiative at the University of Virginia.
