Companion to Environmental Studies presents a comprehensive and
interdisciplinary overview of the key issues, debates, concepts,
approaches and questions that together define environmental studies
today. The intellectually wide-ranging volume covers approaches in
environmental science all the way through to humanistic and
post-natural perspectives on the biophysical world. Though many
academic disciplines have incorporated studying the environment as
part of their curriculum, only in recent years has it become
central to the social sciences and humanities rather than mainly
the geosciences. 'The environment' is now a keyword in everything
from fisheries science to international relations to philosophical
ethics to cultural studies. The Companion brings these subject
areas, and their distinctive perspectives and contributions,
together in one accessible volume. Over 150 short chapters written
by leading international experts provide concise, authoritative and
easy-to-use summaries of all the major and emerging topics
dominating the field, while the seven part introductions situate
and provide context for section entries. A gateway to deeper
understanding is provided via further reading and links to online
resources. Companion to Environmental Studies offers an essential
one-stop reference to university students, academics, policy makers
and others keenly interested in 'the environmental question', the
answer to which will define the coming century.
