Maarten Wolsink | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

First published in 1998. The concept of environment refers to the physical surrounds of human societies. However, the word environment is nearly always used in the context of problematic environmental problems and conditions. This book looks at the different ways in which social scientists study environmental change and environmental problems. It is the completely revised, expended and international edition of Tellegen and Wolsink's renowned Dutch textbook. It will be recommended reading for students and teachers of Environmental Studies and Sociology courses, as well as environmental managers and policy-makers and anyone seeking an understanding of how special attitudes shape our surroundings.
