Informationen zum Autor John Murungi is professor of philosophy at Towson University. Dennis E. Skocz holds a PhD in philosophy from Duquesne University and works at the U.S. State Department in Washington D.C. Klappentext How do you connect the discipline of anthropology to both philosophy and geography? What about history, sociology, and other applied and theoretical forms of knowledge? In Earth Ways: Framing Geographical Meanings, Gary Backhaus and John Murungi challenge contributors to find the organizing component, or "framings," that enables them to bridge their own work to philosophy and geography. What emerges are truly creative contributions to interdisciplinary thought.
