Rob Fish is a social scientist and human geographer, based at the University of Kent. Rob has published widely on the social cultural and participatory dimensions of natural resource management and has played a prominent role in the elaboration of interdisciplinary approaches to the valuation of nature within environmental policy and decision making. He is a founding lead editor of the British Ecological Society’s People and Nature: a journal of relational thinking.
Holly McKelvey is an illustrator and visual science communicator based in Lübeck, Germany, whose travels as well as her background in geology and ecology flavour her art on the relationship between humans and nature. Her work has frequently been published in the British Ecological Society’s magazine The Niche, and she has collaborated with German Watch and PAN Germany, among others. She is also a founding editor and illustrator for Stonecrop Review, a literary magazine on urban nature.
Rob Fish has reinvented the textbook! This bright, illustrated and
accessible volume is no less rigorous in what it teaches for having
a graphic novel style, than a traditional text. I love it, and it
will keep students engaged with material in a way that academic
literature doesn’t always manage.-- - Dr Neil J. Gostling, Lecturer
in the Ecology and Evolution Research Theme, School of Biological
Sciences, University of Southampton, UKThis is a brilliant and
refreshing piece of academic literature, presenting the key themes
of human ecology in a fun and organic way that keeps you engaged
throughout, a far cry from the usual dense academic text. I wish I
had this available at the beginning of my degree! --Katie
Hargrave-Smith, Environmental Social Sciences student, School of
Anthropology and Conservation, University of Kent, UKSo often now,
as scientists, we are asked to frame nature in terms of 'resources'
and 'value' it in terms of 'service' to human economies. In my
humble opinion this only serves to entrench the fundamental schism
we have generated between ourselves and our environment. Healing
this separation wound, as this book helps to do, is not only
profound at an individual level, but potentially holds the key to a
truly sustainable future. Bring on the transformation!-- Dr Kerrie
