The editors of this handbook have assembled an impressive set of contributions from leading environmental social scientific researchers to produce a conceptually rich survey and sometime political manifesto, which demonstrates the vitality of academic research at the nature-society interface today.
The Sage Handbook of Nature makes a compelling case for the relevance of social science to a planet that is changing its contours as we speak, while also presenting a body of critical thought willing to flex and morph as the familiar ground gives way. A very rare beast indeed - an authoritative text that dares to treat the `naturalising’ of social theory not as a vice but as an adventure.
