Environmental Sociology: From Analysis to Action illustrates how
sociological perspectives can help us better understand the causes
and consequences of environmental problems and provides examples of
efforts to ameliorate these problems. The fourth edition of this
environmental sociology reader includes 22 edited excerpts (10 of
them new to this edition) that address, among other things,
environmental inequalities, knowledge creation, media, and
perspectives on disaster. The selected pieces use a variety of
sociological perspectives, including environmental justice, power
structure research, ecological modernization, ecological footprint,
and more, to examine a wide range of environment-related topics.
