It remains as comprehensive yet accessible as the first, and by adding new material about human-nature relations, the authors ensure that edition two reflects important recent developments in thinking and practice.” —Noel Castree, University of Manchester “This masterful synthesis of environment-society scholarship brings together cutting-edge ways of thinking about nature/society entanglements with highly grounded objects of exploration--from lawns to bottled water to uranium. The dynamic and accessible writing style belies the book’s empirical and theoretical sophistication.
