Description: Written in an engaging and accessible manner by one of the leading scholars in his field Environment and Social Theory completed revised and updated with two new chapters is an indispensable guide to the way in which the environment and social theory relate to one another. This popular text outlines the complex interlinking of the environment nature and social theory from ancient and pre - modern thinking to contemporary social theorizing. John Barry: examines the ways major religions such as Judaeo - Christianity have and continue to conceptualize the environment analyzes the way the non - human environment features in Western thinking from Marx and Darwin to Freud and Horkheimer explores the relationship between gender and the environment postmodernism and risk society schools of thought and the contemporary ideology of orthodox economic thinking in social theorising about the environment. How humans value use and think about the environment is an increasingly central and important aspect of recent social theory. It has become clear that the present generation is faced with a series of unique environmental dilemmas largely unprecedented in human history. With summary points illustrative examples glossary and further reading sections this invaluable resource will benefit anyone with an interest in environmentalism politics sociology geography development studies and environmental and ecological economics.
