Environment and Society

Sustainability in the Age of Climate Change

This book is engaging, highly readable, and does a fantastic job introducing theoretical concepts into discussions of modern environmental issues. Straightforward and relatable, at once conversational and academic.

A comprehensive overview of the work in climate change over the last thirty years, and why climate change has yet to be firmly addressed in our culture.

Wiedenhoft-Murphy's Environment and Society is a welcome addition to the literature currently available on Environmental Sociology. The more intentional focus on social justice is especially important at this particular point in time.

This book, addressed to U.S. undergraduates, is an important and much-needed step to bring the sociology of climate change in an accessible way to an undergraduate audience.

Wiedenhoft-Murphy's textbook presents an excellent overview of the many complex and interconnected dimensions of the relationship between environment and society.

Environment and Society's connection to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals helps it make a strong case for why environmental sociology matters. The book clearly defines concepts to help communicate complex ideas.

Using the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals as an organizing framework, this book provides a comprehensive look at the questions of governance, action, and justice regarding climate change and other environmental problems.
