Media Reviews
Focusing on activities and events in the United States, Canada and Europe, this book attempts to trace the development of environmental sociology and outline the main theoretical concerns of the discipline.... The book is at its best when it explores the social construction of environmental problems, the nature of environmental claims, claims makers, the claims-making process, and reasons why some issues rise to prominence and others do not.
