| Abstract | "This book presents a comprehensive, lucid, and accessible approach to environmental sociology. It traces the origins of environmental sociology and examines the realist-constructionist debate in ecology for a holistic exploration of the field. The volume: 1 Presents a step-by-step systematic approach to the study of environmental sociology; 2 Includes case studies from Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas and introduces theoretical perspectives from Asia and Africa to provide a more comprehensive view of the field; 3 Has a separate section on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and climate change; 4 Discusses ecological movements in India and highlights environmental issues of the Global South. A key text for undergraduates, postgraduates, and civil services aspirants, this book goes beyond western scholarship to include indigenous approaches to the field. It will be indispensable for students of sociology, climate change, environmental studies, and sustainable development"-- Provided by publisher. |
