Amphibious Anthropologies: Living in Wet Environments

＂This interdisciplinary volume brings together a diverse set of case studies, from the historic marshes of Italy to the present-day tidal pools of the Bahamas, to offer a new way of interrogating environments beholden to the shifting presence - including an overabundance and lack -- of wetness. All of the chapters are in-depth ethnographic accounts, yet each also proposes an interdisciplinary analysis, weaving together anthropology, geography, environmental management, history, STS, tourism studies, and ecology＂--
