The sixth edition of Environment and Society continues to connect issues about human societies, ecological systems, and the environment with data and perspectives from different fields. While the text looks at environmental issues from a primarily sociological viewpoint, it is designed for courses in Environmental Sociology and Environmental Issues in departments of Sociology, Environmental Studies, Anthropology, Political Science, and Human Geography. Clearly defined terms and theories help familiarize students from various backgrounds with the topics at hand. Each of the chapters is significantly updated with new data, concepts, and ideas. Chapter Three: Climate Change, Science and Diplomacy, is the most extensively revised with current natural science data and sociological insights. It also details the factors at play in the establishment of the Paris Agreement and its potential to affect global climate change. This edition elevates questions of environmental and climate justice in addressing the human-environment relations and concerns throughout the book. Finally, each chapter contains embedded website links for further discussion or commentary on a topic, concludes with review and reflection questions, and suggests further readings and internet sources.

This is the third of a three-volume set providing excerpts and reprinted essays from over 80 periodicals, as well as recent books and governmental publications. Twenty topics are arranged alphabetically, presenting both historical and current information as well as divergent opinion.

Environmental concerns have created a demand by the public for more information. To meet this need, the publisher has created the ``Environmental Library'' series, patterned after their ``Literature Criticism'' series. The volume contains reprinted, excerpted essays from 100 popular and professional journals. Entries such as global warming, population, and wildlife conservation are 15-20 pages in length. Each entry contains a brief overview of the topic, various in-depth commentaries from the reprinted articles, and a bibliography. The articles and bibliography are somewhat outdated, with most citations published in the 1980s and only a small number from the 1990s. Gale has plans to continue this series with volumes on new subjects and updates of previous topics. Eva Lautemann, DeKalb Coll. Lib., Clarkston, Ga. -Library Journal.

As a contribution to public policy and to help educate students about natural resource issues, this book identifies the likely "hot spots" of environmental policy and presents alternative and often opposing points of view on the major controversies that are likely to be with us well into the next century. Among the topics covered are comparative risk assessment; market incentives in environmental regulation; environmental justice; public versus private management of public lands; international trade and sustainable development; and the relationship between national security and environmental protection.

Presents opposing views on questions of environmental protection and damage resulting from air and water pollution, toxic wastes, pesticides, and the ever-growing tide of refuse.
