Thinking About Environment and Place, Pt. 2

Environment is different from place in that environment is the actual material conditions of habitats and the way in which beings inhabit those environments, while place involves the more "constructed" imagining/labeling/beliefs/politics of/about our habitats. These files collect articles on the intersections and politics of both environment and place—in the broadest sense.
