Environmental sociology

"Environmental Sociology makes a strong case for placing the study of emergent uncertainties, structures and flows central to a 'realist/ constructionist model' of environmental knowledge, politics and policy-making. The book offers a distinctive and even-handed treatment of environmental issues and debates, integrating European theoretical contributions such as risk society and ecological modernisation with North American empirical insights and findings."
