Zusammenfassung:Natural resource anthropology integrates the theoretical perspectives of three subfields - cultural ecology, cognitive anthropology, and economic anthropology. Discusses the application of these theoretical paradigms to US marine fisheries, arid lands pastoralism, and tropical forest agriculture. Suggests that anthropological training in natural resources should involve ethnographic field methods, multivariate statistics, and the subject matter of allied disciplines in the social and natural sciences.
