{"product_id":"9781930665002","title":"Environment And Society","description":"First published in 1994 and now reprinted with a new foreword updating the situation from the original edition Environment and Society: The Enduring Conflict explores environmental problems - coherently and theoretically - from both a political and economic point of view. By illustrating the root causes of environmental disruption - global warming, soil depletion, desertification, water and air pollution - the authors show how to recognize and understand the complex contemporary problems involved in caring for the environment.\u003cp\u003eThe book offers both a coherent perspective for solving ecological problems of all kinds and a systematic approach that shows how organizations, institutions and individuals can push for environmental protection reforms. In three sections Schnaiberg and Gould ask the questions: Why should we be concerned? How does environmental disorganization get created? What has been done? And, finally, what can be done?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Allan Schnaiberg has been to environmental sociology what Talcott Parsons was to mid-century sociological theory: a person whose work was an obligatory point of departure. A candid, penetrating and critical assessment of many of the sacred cows of environmentalism and antienvironmentalism. This book is a most welcome addition to the literature in environmental sociology.\" Contemporary Sociology\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Blackburn Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47057343480048,"sku":"9781930665002","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781930665002_p0.jpg?v=1764110623","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781930665002","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
