圖書描述

An original and magical map of our world and its riches, formed of the stories of the small-scale harvests of seven natural objects

In this beguiling book, Edward Posnett journeys to some of the most far-flung locales on the planet to bring us seven wonders of the natural world--eiderdown, vicuña fiber, sea silk, vegetable ivory, civet coffee, guano, and edible birds' nests--that promise ways of using nature without damaging it. To the rest of the world these materials are mere commodities, but to their harvesters they are imbued with myth, tradition, folklore, and ritual, and form part of a shared identity and history.

Strange Harvests follows the journeys of these uncommon products from some of the most remote areas of the world to its most populated urban centers, drawing on the voices of the people and little-known communities who harvest, process, and trade them. Blending history, travel writing, and interviews, Posnett sets these human stories against our changing economic and ecological landscape. What do they tell us about capitalism, global market forces, and overharvesting? How do local microeconomies survive in a hyperconnected world? Is it possible for us to live together with different species? Strange Harvests makes us see the world with wonder, curiosity, and new concern.

評分☆☆☆☆☆

封麵——那深綠的底色，金色的七件來自大自然的珍貴之物，書名的那些字母就好像浮沉在雲煙之中。真的是一個非常非常美的封麵。內容——本書講述七件頂級商品的全球旅程，但書中描述的並不是這些商品在大型集裝箱、遠洋輪、海關、豪華商樓、一擲萬金的買傢這些環節中的旅行，而是著力於講述它們在産地被收集的故事，以及它們是如何在人與自然的共生關係，以及曆史、神話、儀式、傳統和商業利益關係的波濤中航行。這是神奇的當代商業社會中關於商品的故事，而且是一個“復雜故事”，需要你撕開物品的包裝、扯掉商標，然後進入到大韆世界豐富和紛繁的關係中。
