- Abstract : An introduction to the sociological study of the environment. It emphasises the ways in which our conceptualisation of the relationships between environments and human societies differ historically and cross-culturally. Particular social processes and practices such as industrialization and post-industrialization, urbanization, "development" and globalization, are then examined in terms of their impact on the environment. Contesting perspectives on the relationship between the "social" and the "natural" draw the book to a close, with a consideration of human interactions with animals.Table of Contents: Introduction 1.
