Taylor & Francis Environmental Sociology
Book SynopsisJohn Hanniganâs definitive textbook offers a distinctive, balanced coverage of environmental issues, policies and action. This revised fourth edition has been expanded and fully updated to explore contemporary developments and issues within global environmental sociology.Environmental Sociology reconciles Hanniganâs widely cited model of the social construction of environmental problems and controversies, which states that incipient environmental issues must be identified, researched, promoted and persuasively argued in the form of claims, with an environmental justice perspective that stresses inequality and threats to local communities. For example, this new edition explores the interconnections between indigenous communities and environmental activists via a study of the difficult relationship between Aboriginal people and environmentalists in Australia. The updated fourth edition also discusses new direct action protest groups, such as Extinction Rebellion, who hTrade Review"The premier text in this area, the fourth edition of Environmental Sociology covers important new topics, such as the climate emergency, the significance of oceans and the interrelation of indigenous relations with environmentalism. The book provides a theoretically cohesive and engaging global analysis of environmental policy and action, of value to students and researchers alike."David Tindell, Professor of Sociology, University of British Columbia, Canada"John Hannigan’s Environmental Sociology is an excellent introduction to environmental sociology. It provides both a general understanding of environmental issues as well as how environmental concerns become environmental problems that society must deal with. It should be read by anyone who is interested not just in the state of the environment, but how it gets attention and thus calls for action." Rolf Lidskog, Professor of Sociology, Örebro University, Sweden"This fascinating book explains the ways in which the assemblage and communication of knowledge claims underpin how specific environmental matters become issues of public concern. A foundational text, Environmental Sociology critically maps out the power and influences that shape our understandings of environment and society, in the process incorporating discussion of Indigenous knowledge systems, acknowledging the unheralded insights of historical figures and highlighting the importance of expanding our knowledge frontiers to the oceans and beyond. Thoughtful and thought-provoking, it is a must read." Rob White, Emeritus Distinguished Professor of Criminology, University of Tasmania, AustraliaTable of Contents1. Planet in peril, 2.

Cambridge University Press Options for Global Trade Reform A View from the
Book SynopsisThis impressive author team brings the wealth of advances in conservation genetics into the new edition of this introductory text, including new chapters on population genomics and genetic issues in introduced and invasive species. They continue the strong learning features for students - main points in the margin, chapter summaries, vital support with the mathematics, and further reading - and now guide the reader to software and databases. Many new references reflect the expansion of this field. With examples from mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, amphibians, plants and invertebrates, this is an ideal introduction to conservation genetics for a broad audience. The text tackles the quantitative aspects of conservation genetics, and has a host of pedagogy to support students learning the numerical side of the subject. Combined with being up-to-date, its user-friendly writing style and first-class illustration programme forms a robust teaching package.Trade Review'… an excellent introduction to population and quantitative genetics … Introduction to Conservation Genetics is an important book; it has authoritative reviews and lucid descriptions of population and quantitative genetics. It is beautifully put together and illustrated … I anticipate that this book and its successors will be the standard text and reference for years to come.' Charles E. Taylor, Conservation Biology'… this important book should be compulsory reading …' Pacific Conservation Biology'… a good introduction to the topic. There are strong diagrams to aid understanding and a range of summaries, reading lists and problems to stretch the mind further.' TEG News'… given its breadth and up-to-date treatment of the literature, the text should be of considerable value to students interested in conservation genetics and to the professional who needs a complete reference.' TRENDS in Ecology Evolution'… the second edition of Introduction to Conservation Genetics should provide an excellent basis for developing an introductory graduate or upper-level undergraduate course on conservation genetics. Instructors should also be able to incorporate some material into more general courses on conservation biology, population genetics, or evolution … However, the utility of this new edition is not limited to classroom instruction. Scientists looking to learn more about this research area can use it to gain a basic foundation, and specialists will find it a handy tool for quick cross-referencing of the field's primary literature.' Plant Science Bulletin'… a commendable degree of detailed information … the book's broad approach and reader-friendly presentation will ensure that it will continue to be the standard textbook on this subject.'
