Title: Environmental teachings for the anthropocene
Description: "The  essays  in  this  volume  are  organised  into  four  thematic  groups.  First,  we  begin  with  the  perspectives  of  indigenous  scholars  from  Taiwan,  who  share  how  their  peoples  have  constructed  lifeways  through  relationships  with  plants.  Second,  we  explore  the  wider   context   of   Austronesian   worlds   in   studies   of   human-bird   relations   and   the   widespread  use  of  beads.  Third,  we  examine  the  role  of  museums  in  environmental  education.  Finally,  we  look  at  the  study  of  landscape  and  technology  across  Taiwan  and  neighbouring  islands.  In  other  words,  how  have  people  from  various  cultures  engaged  with  other  living  creatures  and  non-living  objects  in  their  environment?  How  have  these  beings  influenced  human  cultural  practices  and  cosmologies  in  turn?  And  how  can  museums  apply  these  worldviews  to  wider  environmental  education  in  different social contexts?"--
