商品描述
Cultural understandings of soil are diverse and often ambiguous. Cultural framing of soils is common worldwide and is highly consequential. The implications of what place the earth has in people's world view and everyday life can be in line with or in conflict with natural conditions, with scientific views, or with agricultural practices. The main assumption underlying this work is that soil is inescapably perceived in a cultural context by any human. This gives emergence to different significant webs of meaning influenced by religious, spiritual, or secular myths, and by a wide range of beliefs, values and ideas that people hold in all societies. These patterns and their dynamics inform the human-soil relationship and how soils are cared for, protected, or degraded.
Therefore, there is need to deal inter-culturally with different sources and types of knowledge and experience regarding soil; a need to cultivate soil awareness and situationally appropriate care through inter- andintra-cultural dialogues and learning. This project focuses on the human and intangible dimensions of soil.To serve this aim, the International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS) founded a working group on Cultural Patterns of Soil Understanding that has resulted in this book, which presents studies from almost all continents, written by soil scientists and experts from other disciplines. A major objective of this project is to promote intercultural literacy that gives readers the opportunity to appreciate soil across disciplinary and cultural boundaries in an increasingly globalized world. . .

土壤的文化理解多樣且常常模糊。全球各地對土壤的文化框架普遍存在，且影響深遠。土壤在人的世界觀和日常生活中的地位所帶來的影響，可能與自然條件、科學觀點或農業實踐相符，也可能相互衝突。本研究的主要假設是，任何人都無法避免在文化背景下感知土壤。這使得不同的意義網絡浮現，這些網絡受到宗教、精神或世俗神話的影響，以及人們在各個社會中所持有的各種信仰、價值觀和理念。這些模式及其動態影響著人與土壤的關係，以及土壤的護理、保護或退化方式。
因此，有必要以跨文化的方式處理有關土壤的不同來源和類型的知識與經驗；需要透過跨文化和內部文化的對話與學習來培養土壤意識和情境適當的護理。本項目專注於土壤的人類和無形維度。
為了達成這一目標，國際土壤科學聯合會（IUSS）成立了一個名為「土壤理解的文化模式工作組」，並因此編撰了本書，該書呈現了來自幾乎所有大陸的研究，這些研究由土壤科學家和其他學科的專家撰寫。本項目的主要目標是促進跨文化素養，使讀者能夠在日益全球化的世界中，跨越學科和文化的界限欣賞土壤。
作者簡介
Dr. Nikola Patzel got degrees in environmental science, depth psychology, and received his doctorate in 2002 at the ETH Zurich (Switzerland) for research on "Soil Science and the Unconscious". After 10 years of research on that, he published in 2015 a book on "Symbols in Agriculture". He works in research and consulting on nature relationships and soil communication, and gives courses on soil for farmers, which integrate scientific, cultural, and psychological aspects. Patzel chairs the working group on "Cultural Patterns of Soil Understanding" in the International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS) and is head of Commission VIII "Soil in Education and Society" at the German Soil Science Society (DBG).
Dr. Eric Brevik is the Dean of the College of Agricultural, Life, and Physical Sciences at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. He has also taught courses in geology and soil science at Dickinson State University (DSU) and Valdosta State University, coordinated the DSU Environmental Science degree program, and advised student research. Dr. Brevik's research interests include combining information from soil science and geology, soil genesis, and the impact of humans on soil properties and processes, as well as soil science history, education, and links between soil science and culture. He is an active member of the European Geoscience Union, International Union of Soil Sciences, and Soil Science Society of America.
Dr. Sabine Grunwald earned a Ph.D. in Environmental Sciences from Giessen University, Germany and is Professor in the Soil, Water and Ecosystem Science Department at the University of Florida (UF), Gainesville, Florida, USA. She has research expertise in soil-ecosystem modeling, AI machine learning and deep learning, soil carbon quantification and modeling, pedometrics, digital soil mapping, soil health, soil proximal sensing and remote sensing, environmental quality assessment, and geospatial analysis. She has published over 213 peer-reviewed publications, is a highly cited researcher, and is actively engaged in the national and global soil science community. She also earned a Ph.D. in Integral and Transpersonal Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies, San Francisco, CA. Dr. Grunwald has served as the Director of the University of Florida Mindfulness Program since 2015 and teaches mindfulness meditation sessions and workshops. She is also a trained Embodied Life Coach providing services in ontological coaching to foster wellness, health and wellbeing and connect people to nature and the environment.
Dr. Christian Feller is an Emeritus Soil Scientist and the former Director of Research at the "Institut de Recherche pour le Développement" (IRD) in Montpellier, France. He earned his MS (1969) and PhD degrees in organic chemistry (1972) from the Sorbonne University (Faculty of Sciences) in Paris, and his Doctorate of Science (1994) in Soil Science from the Louis Pasteur University in Strasbourg. His research focuses on soil organic matter studies applied to soil fertility and environmental services--in particular, the impact of agroecological practices on soil-plant carbon sequestration in tropical and subtropical areas; he has worked extensively in Senegal, French West Indies (Martinique), Brazil, and most recently, Madagascar. Christian is a member of the French Academy of Agriculture, and was the first recipient of the Soil Science Society of America's Nyle C. Brady Frontiers of Soil Science Lectureship in 2006. He served as Chair (2014-2018) of the Division 4 on The Role of Soils in Sustaining Society and the Environment of the International Union of Soil Sciences.
