Produktbeschreibung

This book, the first of its kind, addresses the domination environmental sociology by macrosociological perspectives, bringing together leading theorists and empirical researchers to develop microsociological perspectives in an effort to better understand environmental issues. With case studies covering a range of environmental issues, such as the treatment of waste, human-animal relations, environmental social movements, identities and lifestyles, eco-tourism, the conceptual framing of land, water, and natural resources, and even human conceptions of outer space, this book opens the field, initiating collaboration between environmental sociologists and micro-theoretical sociologists.
