Description

Society and the Environment examines today's environmental controversies within a socio-organizational context. After outlining the contours of pragmatic environmentalism, Carolan considers the pressures that exist where ecology and society collide. He investigates how various ecological issues, such as climate change, are affecting public health and he drills into the social/structural dynamics - including political economy and the international legal system - that create ongoing momentum for environmental ills. This interdisciplinary text features a three-part chapter structure that covers "fast facts" about the issue at hand, examines the wide-ranging implications, and offers balanced consideration of possible real-world solutions.

The second edition is updated with expanded discussions of fracking, inequality, problem-specific health consequences, and the sociological dimensions to environmental problems - the institutions of society, their interrelationships, and how they socially and culturally define our meaning of nature, resources, and environment. New "Movement Matters" boxes also help to showcase grassroots movements that have affected legislation. With more features to help solidify core concepts, discussion questions, and key terms to enhance the text's usefulness, Society and the Environment is the perfect learning tool for courses on environmental sociology.
