Environment and Society: A Critical Introduction

"This innovatively structured work, from some of the field's most creative thinkers, sheds fresh light on some familiar but intractable subjects.  This is one of those rare books that holds out the promise that you will think differently after you put it down than you did when you picked it up."
—Michael R. Dove, Yale University

"At last, a text that renders the recent and voluminous research into society-nature relations both accessible and engaging. It succeeds superbly in blending theory and case material, resulting in a rich and challenging text."
—Noel Castree, University of Manchester

"At last a rigorous environmental text suitable for undergraduates based on current theory, so badly needed to move on from the tired platitudes that have dominated discussion over environment and society for the last four decades. I especially appreciated its inclusion of objects ranging from carbon dioxide to french fries, clearly demonstrating how environment and society are inseparably entangled."
—Jim Proctor, Lewis & Clark College
