Dear Colleagues,
Stewart Lockie, Dana Fisher, and I are pleased to announce the publication
of the *Routledge International Handbook of Social and Environmental Change*.
The description:
"Today, the risks associated with global environmental change and the
dangers of extreme climatic and geological events remind us of humanity’s
dependence on favourable environmental conditions. Our relationships with
the landscapes and ecologies that we are a part of, the plants and animals
that we share them with, and the natural resources that we extract, lie at
the heart of contemporary social and political debates. It is no longer
possible to understand key social scientific concerns without at the same
time also understanding contemporary patterns of ecosystem change.
"The *Routledge International Handbook of Social and Environmental
Change* reviews
the major ways in which social scientists are conceptualizing more
integrated perspectives on society and nature, from the global to local
levels. The chapters in this volume, by international experts from a
variety of disciplines, explore the challenges, contradictions and
consequences of social–ecological change, along with the uncertainties and
governance dilemmas they create. The contributions are based around the
themes of:
- Climate change, energy, and adaptation
- Urban environmental change and governance
- Risk, uncertainty and social learning
- (Re)assembling social-ecological systems
"With case studies from sectors across both developed and developing
worlds, the *Handbook *illustrates the inter-connectedness of ecosystem
health, natural resource condition, livelihood security, social justice and
development. It will be of interest for students and scholars across the
social sciences and natural sciences, as well as to those interested and
engaged in environmental policy at all levels."
The volume is available in hardback now in North America and Europe; with
Australia and New Zealand to follow. For further information, including
