Introduces key terms, quantitative and qualitative research,
debates, and histories for Environmental and Nature Studies
Understandings of "nature" have expanded and changed, but the word
has not lost importance at any level of discourse: it continues to
hold a key place in conversations surrounding thought, ethics, and
aesthetics. Nowhere is this more evident than in the
interdisciplinary field of environmental studies. Keywords for
Environmental Studies analyzes the central terms and debates
currently structuring the most exciting research in and across
environmental studies, including the environmental humanities,
environmental social sciences, sustainability sciences, and the
sciences of nature. Sixty essays from humanists, social scientists,
and scientists, each written about a single term, reveal the broad
range of quantitative and qualitative approaches critical to the
state of the field today. From "ecotourism" to "ecoterrorism," from
"genome" to "species," this accessible volume illustrates the ways
in which scholars are collaborating across disciplinary boundaries
to reach shared understandings of key issues-such as extreme
weather events or increasing global environmental inequities-in
order to facilitate the pursuit of broad collective goals and
actions. This book underscores the crucial realization that every
discipline has a stake in the central environmental questions of
our time, and that interdisciplinary conversations not only
enhance, but are requisite to environmental studies today. Visit
