Human ecology

期刊简介：The theoretical orientation of Human Ecology emphasizes the problem-solving significance of human culture and behavior, from food procurement to systems defining kinship—not to mention political and religious life. The perspective generally embraced here is that human ecology is part and parcel of the larger field of ecology and not simply analogous to it. Contributions to Human Ecology emphasize the complex ways in which humans shape and in turn are shaped by their environment. Original articles, research reports, and brief communications based on empirical research are welcome from fields as diverse as environmental impact studies, resource or habitat maintenance, health and nutrition, risk management, land use history—to name a few. Disciplines commonly represented include anthropology, biological, life and health sciences, geography, and sociology. The journal is peer reviewed. A book review section appears in each issue.

【译文】人类生态学的理论取向强调人类文化和行为在解决问题中的重要性，从食物获取到定义亲缘关系的系统——更不用说政治和宗教生活了。这里普遍接受的观点是，人类生态学是更大生态领域的一部分，而不仅仅是与之相似。对人类生态学的贡献强调人类如何塑造环境，以及环境如何反过来塑造人类。欢迎来自环境影响研究、资源或栖息地维护、健康和营养、风险管理、土地利用历史等多个领域的原创文章、研究报告和基于实证研究的小通讯。常见的学科包括人类学、生物学、生命和健康科学、地理学和社会学。该期刊是同行评审的。每期都会出现书评部分。
