Sociology, Environmentalism, Globalization: Reinventing the Globe

A concise, authoritative book, Sociology, Environmentalism, Globalization brings together the literature on globalization and the sociology of the environment in one readable volume. Author Steven Yearly argues that environmental issues have received scant attention in the general debate on globalization. The call for global environmental change is now made by both pressure groups and policymakers, implying that the problems are global in nature and that any adequate response requires common global action. Both timely and thought provoking, Sociology, Environmentalism, Globalization provides quality material for students and professionals in social theory and environmental studies.
