Books by Lesley Head

Plants are fundamental players in human lives, underpinning our food supply and contributing to the air we breathe, but they are easy to take for granted and have received insufficient attention in the social sciences. This book advances understanding of human-plant relations using the example of wheat.

Aimed at bridging the gap between the sciences and humanities, this work provides an analysis of the methodological tools employed in examining processes of environmental change. It examines the way in which environmental management decisions are made and discusses the relevance of this perspective to contemporary issues.
