April Vannini Book order

In the Name of Wild takes you on the five-year journey one family made across five continents to re-imagine the meaning of wildness.

Exploring the concept of wilderness, this book offers a multidisciplinary approach that integrates theories from various fields, including philosophy and environmental studies. It emphasizes a relational and process-oriented understanding of wilderness, serving as a foundation for discussions on environmental aesthetics and interspecies relationships. Featuring recent case studies, summaries, further readings, web resources, and discussion questions, it is tailored for both undergraduate and postgraduate courses on the topic.

In contrast to books which separate the five (or six, or seven) senses from one another, The Senses in Self, Culture, and Society is organized around intersecting themes within sociological and anthropological fields of study--such as "the senses and the self," "time, place, and the senses," "sensory order and social control" and so forth--by doing so, we appeal to a wide variety of scholars and students.
