We now face global environmental threats, such as climate change and biodiversity loss, as well as local threats, such as pollution and household toxins. The complex interactions of such pervasive problems demand an understanding of the social nature of environmental impacts, the underlying drivers of these impacts, and the range of possible solutions. Environmental sociologists continue to make indispensable contributions to this crucial task.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis compact book introduces environmental sociology and emphasizes how environmental sociologists do “public sociology,” that is, work with broad public application. Using a diversity of theoretical approaches and research methods, environmental sociologists continue to give marginalized people a voice, identify the systemic drivers of our environmental crises, and evaluate solutions. Diana Stuart shines a light on this work and gives readers insight into applying the tools of environmental sociology to minimize impacts and create a more sustainable and just world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface \u003cbr\u003e    \u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: Environmental Sociology: In Uncharted Waters\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2: The Social Dimensions of Environmental Impacts \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3: Examining Drivers of Environmental Impacts \u003cbr\u003e            \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4: Identifying Solutions \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 5: Moving Forward \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e References Cited\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Sociology%20\u0026amp;%20anthropology%20%5BJH%5D%22\"\u003eJH\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52453593186584,"sku":"9781509544387","price":41.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509544387.jpg?v=1785287340","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/what-is-environmental-sociology-hardback-9781509544387","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
