Produktinformationen zu „Sociology and the Environment (PDF)“
Can sociology help us to tackle environmental problems? What can
sociology tell us about the nature of the environment and about the
origins and consequences of environmental risks, hazards and
change? In this important new book Alan Irwin maps out this
emerging field of knowledge, teaching and research. He reviews the
key sociological debates in the field and sets out a new framework
for analysis and practice.
Among the themes examined are constructivism and realism,
sustainable development and theories of the risk society. Readers
are also introduced to communities at risk, institutional
regulation and the environmental consequences of technology.
Particular topics for discussion include genetically modified
organisms, nuclear power, pesticide safety and the local hazards of
the chemical industry. Rather than maintaining a fixed boundary
between nature and society, Irwin highlights the hybrid character
of environmental issues and emphasizes the role of social and
cultural factors within environmental policy.
Combining theoretical discussion and case-studies with a
sensitivity to the concerns of environmental policy and practice,
Sociology and the Environment provides an excellent
introduction to an expanding and immensely important field. It will
be a valuable text for students and scholars in sociology,
geography, environmental studies and related disciplines.
