Environmental Sociology

Autor John Hannigan
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 sep 2022
John Hannigan’s definitive textbook offers a distinctive, balanced coverage of environmental issues, policies and action. This revised fourth edition has been expanded and fully updated to explore contemporary developments and issues within global environmental sociology.
Environmental Sociology reconciles Hannigan’s widely cited model of the social construction of environmental problems and controversies, which states that incipient environmental issues must be identified, researched, promoted and persuasively argued in the form of "claims", with an environmental justice perspective that stresses inequality and threats to local communities. For example, this new edition explores the interconnections between indigenous communities and environmental activists via a study of the difficult relationship between Aboriginal people and environmentalists in Australia. The updated fourth edition also discusses new direct action protest groups, such as Extinction Rebellion, who have reframed the discourse around the "climate emergency" using apocalyptic language and imagery. Environmental Sociology also signposts exciting new directions for future research. The fourth edition re-interrogates the classical roots of environmental theory with a focus of the work of Alexander von Humboldt. Hannigan also asserts the need for environmental sociologists to turn their attention to "The Forgotten Ocean", arguing that the discipline should incorporate cutting-edge concepts such as marine justice, striated space and volumetrics.
Environmental Sociology is a key text for students and researchers in environmental studies, political ecology, social geography and environmental sociology.

Recenzii

"The premier text in this area, the fourth edition of Environmental Sociology covers important new topics, such as the climate emergency, the significance of oceans and the interrelation of indigenous relations with environmentalism. The book provides a theoretically cohesive and engaging global analysis of environmental policy and action, of value to students and researchers alike."
David Tindell, Professor of Sociology, University of British Columbia, Canada
"John Hannigan’s Environmental Sociology is an excellent introduction to environmental sociology. It provides both a general understanding of environmental issues as well as how environmental concerns become environmental problems that society must deal with. It should be read by anyone who is interested not just in the state of the environment, but how it gets attention and thus calls for action."
Rolf Lidskog, Professor of Sociology, Örebro University, Sweden
"This fascinating book explains the ways in which the assemblage and communication of knowledge claims underpin how specific environmental matters become issues of public concern. A foundational text, Environmental Sociology critically maps out the power and influences that shape our understandings of environment and society, in the process incorporating discussion of Indigenous knowledge systems, acknowledging the unheralded insights of historical figures and highlighting the importance of expanding our knowledge frontiers to the oceans and beyond. Thoughtful and thought-provoking, it is a must read."
Rob White, Emeritus Distinguished Professor of Criminology, University of Tasmania, Australia
