| Abstract
|
:
|
"A landmark work of environmental sociology, Morel Tales is an engaging and instructive examination of a thriving community, one with its own language, ceremonies, jokes, narratives, rivalries, and social codes. Fine also provides a detailed discussion of the American phenomenon he calls "naturework"--That is, culturally constructing one's own place in the natural environment through communities with shared systems of assigned meaning."--Jacket.
