Ethnophysiography

The Ethnophysiography Project

The new term 'ethnophysiography' is one to describe the study of natural land forms, from a global perspective. A team of researchers from the Ethnophysiography Project are determined to show the differences between bodies of water or mountains, much like the differences between different plants and animals. The point is to find out whether these land forms have a similar significance between our culture and other cultures.
If you go to the 'publications' section of the website, there are a couple articles that may help you write your essay. They reinforce the fact that while studying an enviroment we are not too familiar with, we need to study it from the perspective of the environment's inhabitants.
