An Invitation to Environmental Sociology

"This is not only the best environmental sociology text I’ve used, but it is the best text of any type I’ve used in college-level teaching." –Dr. Cliff Brown, University of New Hampshire

Join author Mike Bell and new co-author Loka Ashwood as they explore "the biggest community of all" and bring out the sociology of environmental possibility. The highly-anticipated Fifth Edition of An Invitation to Environmental Sociology delves into this rapidly changing and growing field in a clear and artful manner. Written in a lively, engaging style, this book explores the broad range of topics in environmental sociology with a personal passion rarely seen in sociology books. The Fifth Edition contains new chapters entitled "Money and Markets," "Technology and Science," and "Living in An Ecological Society." In addition, this edition brings in fresh material on extraction between core and periphery countries, the industrialization of agriculture, the hazards of fossil fuel production, environmental security, and making environmentalism normal.
