A region larger than Europe, Central Asia possesses an astounding range of environments, from deserts to glaciated peaks. The volume brings into conversation scholarship from history to social anthropology, demonstrating the contribution that interdisciplinary and engaged research offers to many urgent issues in the region: from the history of conservationism to the tactics of environmental movements, from literary engagements with 'pure nature' to the impact of fossil fuel extraction. The collection focuses on the Central Asian republics of the former USSR, where a complex layering of nomadic and sedentary, Turkic and Persianate, Islamic and Soviet cultures ends up affecting human relations with distinct environments. Featuring state-of-the-art contributions, the book enquires into human-environment relations through a broad-brush typology of interactive modes: to extract, protect, enspirit and fear. Broadening the scope of analysis beyond a consideration of power, the authors bring into focus alternative local cosmologies and the unintended consequences of environmental policy. The volume highlights scholarship from within Central Asia as well as expertise elsewhere, offering readers diverse modes of knowledge-production in the environmental humanities. This book is an important resource for researchers and students of the environmental humanities, sustainability, history, politics, anthropology and geography of Asia, as well as Soviet and Post-Soviet studies.  aAll rights reserveduhttp://oapen.org/content/about-rights  aEnglish 7aApplied ecology2bicssc 7aLiterature: history and criticism2bicssc 7aNature and the natural world: general interest2bicssc  aCentral Asia; Environmental history; Environmental humanities; Extractivism; Kazakhstan; Kyrgyzstan; Post-Soviet Studies; Sustainability; Tajikistan; Uzbekistan1 aFeaux de la Croix, Jeanne4oth1 aPenati, Beatrice4edt1 aPenati, Beatrice4oth0 aDOAB Library.40uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/12192770zFree-to-read: DOAB: description of the publication  c93104d93104
