Modern Environmentalism: An Introduction

by David Pepper

Modern Environmentalism presents a comprehensive introduction to environmentalism, the origins of its main beliefs and ideas, and how these relate to modern environmental ideologies. Providing a historical overview of the development of attitudes to nature and the environment in society, the book examines key environmentalist ideas, influences and movements. Science's role in mediating our view of nature is emphasised throughout. This entirely new account draws on the explosion of writing on socio-environment relations since Pepper's earlier work, The Roots of Modern Environmentalism .

[Jessica DeWitt · Rating 2 out of 5]

Not as much helpful information as I had hoped. Focuses too much on radical environmentalism and deep ecology, not enough on more moderate forms of environmentalism.
