Environment and Society

Environment and Society examines the complex relationships between humans and nature from a new perspective, incorporating recent moves to situate sustainable development within a household and individual context. Through a series of theoretical and practical chapters, it builds a comprehensive account of the complex factors that underlie our everyday attitudes and behaviour towards the natural environment.

Dr Stewart Barr is a Senior Lecturer in Geography in the School of Geography, Archaeology and Earth Resources at the University of Exeter, UK.
