Man, Mind, and Land: A Theory of Resources Use

Originally published in 1960, Walter Firey's seminal Man, Mind and Land provides readers with an integrated theoretical perspective on the interplay among social, economic, and cultural conditions and patterns of resource use. This book is one of the earliest and most important contributions to the emergence of natural resource social science which is why it was republished by the Social Ecological Press in an explicit effort to ensure that contemporary students and scholars have continued access to this benchmark contribution. This book remains an important reminder that examination of the human reliance on natural resources has a rich and varied history.
