became involved with EH. As a cultural anthropologist interested in environmental
matters, I feel in my element in it. Its approach is familiar, resembling the approach
and value system of anthropology. Further, anthropological knowledge can easily
be integrated into EH research.
My aim as the editor of this book is to acguaint the Hungarian public with this
field of research and approach. I hope it may serve as inspiration for the academic
community by emphasizing the exciting research themes and important results
which await those who pursue their activities with the approach of EH scholars.
The book aims to provide the educated laity with information, to shed light on
the complexity of environmental problems, and to encourage everyone to try to
comprehend the world and the role of the scholarly fields in their complexity,
instead of accepting oversimplified answers. The subtitle A Reader suggests that I
ascribe a role to it in education as well: the authors intend to use it as a textbook
in their university courses, and I hope it will prove valuable in other educational
institutions as well.
