Is our experience of nature changing?This book shows how questions about the environment cannot beproperly answered without taking a sociological approach.

It also covers sociological ideas such as risk, interpretations of nature, environmental realism, ecologicalmodernization and globalization. Environmentalism and greenpolitics are also introduced. Unlike many other texts in the field, the book takes a long-term view, locating environmental dilemmaswithin the context of social development and globalization.
