Examining several contemporary environmental controversies-including water consumption, food safety, and air pollution-this guide illustrates how a critical perspective can aid in understanding such complex social, economic, and political issues. Key concepts in environmental social science are introduced to clarify controversies and address broader questions such as How do our consumption decisions affect ecosystems? Can we rely on governments to maintain environmental well being? Do those living in rural areas see the environment differently from urban dwellers? and Is sustainability possible? The discussion both examines the disputes and demonstrates that ecological problems and their solutions are as much social and political as they are scientific. Activism resources at the end of each chapter are included as are suggestions on ways to reduce individual ecological footprints.

The second edition of Environment and Society: Concepts for a Just Transformation delivers a major, timely update to one of the field’s most respected concept‑driven environmental social science texts. Fully revised and significantly re-oriented to highlight concepts informing social projects in just transformation, this edition reshapes the book around an enhanced set of contemporary concepts—adding new chapters, removing outdated material, and thoroughly updating those retained—to reflect the dramatic shifts in how scholars, policymakers, and communities understand society–environment relations. With contributions from an even more globally diverse group of authors, the book now brings stronger representation from the Global South and a wider array of disciplinary perspectives.The book examines whether today’s dominant ideas and conceptual frameworks meaningfully support a “Just Transformation” in the face of deepening environmental and climatological crises. Across eleven concept‑focused chapters—ranging from justice, colonialism, and intersectionality to futures, metabolism, collective action, commons, footprints, and more—contributors offer accessible syntheses, illustrative examples, and end‑of‑chapter discussion topics designed for classroom use.This edition is designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate students across environmental studies, environmental sociology, geography, sustainability, and allied social sciences, as well as scholars seeking a clear, comparative resource on conceptual trends. It will also appeal to practitioners, NGO staff, and policy professionals who require a deeper understanding of the conceptual tools shaping environmental thinking today
