The Home: Words, Interpretations, Meanings, and Environments (Ethnoscapes (Unnumbered).)

These new writings by leading theorists and empirical researchers offer an interdisciplinary and multi-cultural spectrum of viewpoints on the study of the home concept. Among the disciplines covered are environment-behaviour research, anthropology, geography, archaeology, architecture, political science, and linguistics-place name research. Although its history goes back to the pre-Roman Iron Age, and has been the subject of scholarly study for over three hundred years, the home is still a contentious term, topical now because of civil and military strife over traditional homelands, and central to the debate concerning the environmental impact of settlement vs. domestic comfort, and the contemplation of Ivan lllich's 'shadow work'.
