EnglishAbstract
How are communities worldwide experiencing changes to their seasons? Through 35 real-world accounts of seasonal change by researchers and practitioners, this anthology gives pause to critically rethink what seasons mean. The chapters invite us to see seasons not as stable facts of nature, but as cultural ways of living in the world, evolving with populations and places. Revisiting seasons is one way in which communities adapt in turbulent times.
