Summary

This is the first book to capture the transitions which have been taking place in the teaching of environmental sociology over the past few years. The struggle between positivism and constructionism in the discipline are reconciled to present a beautifully written introduction to the sociology of the environment.'After five years of teaching environmental sociology in universities I find that Bell's text comes closest yet to successfully covering the maze of issues that confronts students' - Environmental Politics
