Authors: Craig R Humphrey, Tammy L Lewis and Frederick H Buttel
Publisher: Wadsworth Group, United States (2002)
In this book preeminent authors Craig R Humphrey, Tammy L Lewis and Frederick H Buttel show readers how social theories can be effectively employed to help us better understand environmental issues - both globally and within the United States. With intriguing examples and clearly defined terms and concepts, the authors explore key environmental issues such as world population growth, world hunger, the re-emerging energy crisis, and others.
They examine these problems and issues through the lens of three sociological paradigms - conservative, managerial, and radical - that can be used to explain major changes in the biophysical environment.
Rooted in the work of classical sociological theorists Emile Durkheim, Max Webber, and Karl Marx, these paradigms offer a framework throughout the book, helping readers clarify and more deeply understand complex environmental issues.
Softcover, 344 pages (used name inside cover)
