Sally Eden

Environmental Publics

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Emphasising the practices of 'environmental engagement', Environmental Publics examines how people consume the environment, learn about it, campaign for its protection and enjoy it through their leisure time. It differentiates environmental publics not by who they are but by what they doing - their daily practices and analyses specifically the geographies of those practices, that is, how what people do affects the environment but in different ways across time and space and at different scales. With an interdisciplinary perspective, this book will be of interest to students and scholars in geography, sociology, science and technology studies, political science and anthropology.
