An Invitation to Environmental Sociology

An Invitation to Environmental Sociology, 6th Edition, is a textbook that investigates human interactions with the natural world. The text organizes its material around three core categories of inquiry: material, ideal, and practical questions.

Organized into 12 chapters, the volume incorporates environmental social movement theory and formulates the concept of normal environmentalism to address practical ecological challenges. The edition also highlights inclusivity by using gender-neutral language and featuring a broader variety of lived experiences in its case examples.

Each chapter begins with an evocative sketch, giving students an engaging introduction to central sociological and environmental topics.
