{"product_id":"the-ends-of-the-world","title":"The Ends of the World","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe end of the world is a seemingly interminable topic Ð at least, of \u003cbr\u003e\ncourse, until it happens. Environmental catastrophe and planetary \u003cbr\u003e\napocalypse are subjects of enduring fascination and, as ethnographic \u003cbr\u003e\nstudies show, human cultures have approached them in very different \u003cbr\u003e\nways. Indeed, in the face of the growing perception of the dire effects \u003cbr\u003e\nof global warming, some of these visions have been given a new lease on \u003cbr\u003e\nlife. Information and analyses concerning the human causes and the \u003cbr\u003e\ncatastrophic consequences of the planetary    crisis    have been \u003cbr\u003e\naccumulating at an ever-increasing rate, mobilising popular opinion as \u003cbr\u003e\nwell as academic reflection.  In this book, philosopher Deborah \u003cbr\u003e\nDanowski and anthropologist Eduardo Viveiros de Castro offer a bold \u003cbr\u003e\noverview and interpretation of these current discourses on    the end of\u003cbr\u003e\n the world   , reading them as thought experiments on the decline of the\u003cbr\u003e\n West   s anthropological adventure Ð that is, as attempts, though not \u003cbr\u003e\nnecessarily intentional ones, at inventing a mythology that is adequate \u003cbr\u003e\nto the present. This work has important implications for the future \u003cbr\u003e\ndevelopment of ecological practices and it will appeal to a broad \u003cbr\u003e\naudience interested in contemporary anthropology, philosophy, and \u003cbr\u003e\nenvironmentalism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deborah danowski","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44215526424636,"sku":"9781509503988","price":7496.25,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/7706\/7836\/files\/the-ends-of-the-world-9781509503988.jpg?v=1776758348","url":"https:\/\/libertybooksstore.myshopify.com\/products\/the-ends-of-the-world","provider":"LibertyBooksStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
