To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, March 4, 2010, 12:30 AM Dear all, An exciting announcement by Earthscan publishers of a new volume of papers dedicated to Ethnoornithology. Entitled "Ethno-ornithology Birds, Indigenous Peoples, Culture and Society", this book has been edited by Sonia Tidemann and Andrew Gosler and includes contributions from across the globe, including quite a few from ERSG members. Follow the link at Earthscan above to go to the publisher's site for more information. I had some early involvement with the collection of authors represented in this fine new work but had to withdraw last year due to other commitments. Congratulations to Sonia and Andrew and to all of the authors whose work is represented. Hopefully it will be the first of many and prompt more of us to publish our work. Here is some information about the book. Ethno-ornithology: Birds, Indigenous Peoples, Culture and Society Edited By Sonia Tidemann and Andrew Gosler (2010) Earthscan Publishers blurb An African proverb states that when a knowledgeable old person dies, a whole library disappears. In that light, this book presents knowledge that is new or has not been readily available until now because it has not previously been captured or reported by indigenous people. Indigenous knowledge that embraces ornithology takes in whole social dimensions that are inter-linked with environmental ethos, conservation and management for sustainability. In contrast, western approaches have tended to reduce knowledge to elemental and material references. This book also looks at the significance of indigenous knowledge of birds and their cultural significance, and how these can assist in framing research methods of western scientists working in related areas. As well as its knowledge base, this book provides practical advice for professionals in conservation and anthropology by demonstrating the relationship between mutual respect, local participation and the building of partnerships for the resolution of joint problems. It identifies techniques that can be transferred to different regions, environments and collections, as well as practices suitable for investigation, adaptation and improvement of knowledge exchange and collection in ornithology. 'The last half century has seen a significant growth in our understanding of how humans perceive the world of birds, and this knowledge has shaped the development of ethnobiology. Consider, for example, the role, amongst ornithologists of Jared Diamond, amongst anthropogists of Gene Hunn, and amongst the indigenous experts, of Saem Majnep. Given this prominence, it is perhaps surprising that we have had to wait so long for a review of the subject and for such a powerful statement of its scope and significance. What is remarkable about this benchmark volume is the size and diversity of the contributions. There can be little doubt that with its publication ethno-ornithology has arrived as an identifiable cross-disciplinary specialism, with much to say that is relevant not only to the humane sciences, but to conservation and the emerging consensus on biocultural diversity.' Roy Ellen, Professor of Anthropology and Human Ecology and Director of the Centre for Biocultural Diversity, University of Kent, UK 'A fascinating series of essays exploring the diverse links that exist between birds and people; studies that remind us how all human societies are deeply indebted to birds - for language, song, food, inspiration, commerce - a biocultural certainty that cries out for a stronger role in contemporary nature conservation.
