The editors of this handbook have assembled an impressive set of contributions from leading environmental social scientific researchers to produce a conceptually rich survey and sometime political manifesto, which demonstrates the vitality of academic research at the nature-society interface today. These volumes will be an invaluable guide for those seeking to understand the broad conceptual trading zones around nature, society, politics, economics, and health that now constitute environmental social sciences, as well as those looking for the novel case studies, policy innovations, and political ideas that indicate the potential of transdisciplinary approaches to complex socio-ecological systems in the future.
