"A monumental and timely contribution to scholarship on society and
environments. The handbook makes it easy and compelling for anyone
to learn about that scholarship in its full manifestations and as
represented by some of the most highly respected researchers and
thinkers in the English-speaking world. It is wide-reaching in
scope and far-reaching in its implications for public and private
action, a definite must for serious researchers and their
libraries." - Bonnie J McCay, Rutgers University "This is the
desert island book for anyone interested in the relationship
between society and the environment. The editors have assembled a
masterful collection of contributions on every conceivable
dimension of environmental thinking in the social sciences and
humanities. No library should be without it!' - Robyn Eckersley,
University of Melbourne The SAGE Handbook of Environment and
Society focuses on the interactions between people, societies and
economies, and the state of nature and the environment. Editorially
integrated but written from multi-disciplinary perspectives, it is
organised in seven sections: Environmental thought: past and
present Valuing the environment Knowledges and knowing Political
economy of environmental change Environmental technologies
Redesigning natures Institutions and policies for influencing the
environment Key themes include: locations where the
environment-society relation is most acute: where, for example,
there are few natural resources or where industrialization is
unregulated; the discussion of these issues at different scales:
local, regional, national, and global; the cost of damage to
resources; and the relation between principal actors in the
environment-society nexus. Aimed at an international audience of
academics, research students, researchers, practitioners and policy
makers, The SAGE Handbook of Environment and Society presents
readers in social science and natural science with a manual of the
past, present and future of environment-society links.
