Diana Stuart is Associate Professor of Sociology at North Arizona University.
Stuart presents a superb and highly readable introduction to environmental sociology. Her coverage of up-to-date scholarly work is excellent, as is her emphasis on the utility of much of this work for 'public sociology.' Students will find the volume engaging, and I recommend it as a text for undergrad courses and a supplementary text for graduate courses. Riley E. Dunlap, Past-President, Section on Environmental Sociology, American Sociological Association Diana Stuart, one of the most knowledgeable environmental sociologists of her generation, is a deep and nuanced thinker who serves as an engaging guide through this field. Insightful and well-rounded, there are no better introductions to the subject than this fine volume. Richard York, University of Oregon
