Mathews explores the anthropogenic landscapes of Lucca, Italy, and how its people understand social and environmental change through cultivation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Italy and around the Mediterranean, almost every stone, every tree, and every hillside show traces of human activities. Situating climate change within the context of the Anthropocene, Mathews investigates how people in Lucca make sense of social and environmental change by caring for the morphologies of trees and landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe analyses how people encounter climate change, not by thinking and talking about climate, but by caring for the environments around them. Maintaining landscape stability by caring for the forms of trees, rivers, and hillsides is a way that people link their experiences to the past and to larger-scale political questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe human-transformed landscapes of Italy are a harbinger of the experiences that all of us are likely to face, and addressing these disasters will call upon all of us to think about the human and natural histories of the landscapes we live in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46855351927020,"sku":"9780300260373","price":71.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/bccd674348c1f803123e75f2b9c6bc23.jpg?v=1759278740","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/trees-are-shape-shifters-by-andrew-s-mathews-9780300260373","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
