Robbins Paul, Hintz John, Moore Sarah A. Environment and society: a critical introduction

John Wiley & Sons, 2014. — 352 р. — ISBN 978-1-118-45156-4This book is designed to explain these varied interpretive tools and perspectives and show
them in operation. Our strategy is first to present the dominant modes of thinking about environment–society relations and then to apply them to a few familiar objects of the world around us. By environment, we mean the whole of the aquatic, terrestrial, and atmospheric non-human world, including specific objects in their varying forms, like trees, carbon dioxide, or water, as well as the organic and inorganic systems and processes that link and
transform them, like photosynthesis, predator–prey relationships, or soil erosion. Society, conversely, includes the humans of the Earth and the larger systems of culture, politics, and economic exchange that govern their interrelationships
