Written in an engaging and accessible manner by one of the leading
scholars in his field, Environment and Social Theory, completed
revised and updated with two new chapters, is an indispensable
guide to the way in which the environment and social theory relate
to one another. This popular text outlines the complex interlinking
of the environment, nature and social theory from ancient and
pre-modern thinking to contemporary social theorizing. John Barry:
examines the ways major religions such as Judaeo-Christianity have
and continue to conceptualize the environment analyzes the way the
non-human environment features in Western thinking from Marx and
Darwin, to Freud and Horkheimer explores the relationship between
gender and the environment, postmodernism and risk society schools
of thought, and the contemporary ideology of orthodox economic
thinking in social theorising about the environment. How humans
value, use and think about the environment, is an increasingly
central and important aspect of recent social theory. It has become
clear that the present generation is faced with a series of unique
environmental dilemmas, largely unprecedented in human history.
With summary points, illustrative examples, glossary and further
reading sections this invaluable resource will benefit anyone with
an interest in environmentalism, politics, sociology, geography,
development studies and environmental and ecological economics.
