Energy Impacts: A Multidisciplinary Exploration of North American Energy Development

Editat de Jeffrey B. Jacquet, Julia H. Haggerty, Gene L. Theodori
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 ian 2021 – vârsta ani
Development of various energy sources continues across North America and around the world, raising questions about social and economic consequences for the places and communities where these activities occur. Energy Impacts brings together important new research on site-level social, economic, and behavioral impacts from large-scale energy development. Featuring conceptual and empirical multidisciplinary research from leading social scientists, the volume collects a broad range of perspectives to understand North America’s current energy uses and future energy needs.
 
Twelve chapters from respected scholars in a variety of disciplines present new ways to consider and analyze energy impact research. Focused on varied energy topics, geographies, and disciplines, each chapter includes a policy brief that summarizes the work and provides “key takeaways” to apply the findings to policy and public discourse.
Meaningful public engagement is critical in limiting the negative implications of energy development, and understanding the social influences on and of energy systems is a cornerstone of addressing the climate crisis. As such, Energy Impacts is a significant work for students, scholars, and professionals working in sociology, education, geography, environmental studies, and public health.
This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 1528422. Publication is also supported, in part, by Montana State University.

Recenzii

A very valuable contribution. Anyone involved in energy development research will benefit from the exceptional overview of the literature that Energy Impacts provides.”
—Don E. Albrecht, Utah State University

“The volume clearly demonstrates that ‘energy is a social issue with technical components’ . . . . Highly recommended”
—CHOICE


Notă biografică

Jeffrey B. Jacquet is assistant professor in the School of Environment and Natural Resources at The Ohio State University.
