WORLDVIEWS: ENVIRONMENT, CULTURE, RELIGION seeks to explore the environmental understandings, perceptions and practices of a wide range of different cultures and religious traditions. WORLDVIEWS: ENVIRONMENT, CULTURE, RELIGION adopts an interdisciplinary approach, drawing on contributions from a range of discipline areas including anthropology, environmental studies, geography, philosophy, religious studies, sociology and theology. Articles are considered which explore the interaction of humans and the natural environment from perspectives that may be either within or outside particular religious and cultural traditions. Prospective contributions are considered on the understanding that they are not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. They should be in English and four copies should be provided, typed and double spaced, and not more than 6000 words in length. Typescripts will not be returned, so the author should retain an additional copy for reference. Authors whose work is accepted for publication will be asked to supply an electronic version of the article on a 3.5in. disc in IBM or Macintosh format. To allow blind refereeing, authors are asked to identify themselves only on the title page, which should show their names, full postal addresses, and any acknowledgements in the form preferred for publication. A full postal address for editorial correspondence must also be given. A summary of 100-200 words should be provided for the use of abstracting services. Footnotes, which will be printed at the end of the article, should be numbered consecutively through the text, and presented on a separate sheet of paper, typed with double spacing. Bibliographic citations in the text or notes should include the author's last name and the title or year of publication, and may include a page reference: (Reichel-Dolmatoff 1976: 308-9), (Bratton, Christianity, Wilderness and Wildlife, p.203). A separate list of references should be provided, in alphabetical order, using the following style:
