Keywords For Environmental Studies (Keywords, 3) - 9780814762967

Keywords for Environmental Studies analyzes the central terms and debates currently structuring the most exciting research in and across environmental studies, including the environmental humanities, environmental social sciences, sustainability sciences, and the sciences of nature. Sixty essays from humanists, social scientists, and scientists, each written about a single term, reveal the broad range of quantitative and qualitative approaches critical to the state of the field today. From ôecotourismö to ôecoterrorism,ö from ôgenomeö to ôspecies,ö this accessible volume illustrates the ways in which scholars are collaborating across disciplinary boundaries to reach shared understandings of key issuesùsuch as extreme weather events or increasing global environmental inequitiesù in order to facilitate the pursuit of broad collective goals and actions. This book underscores the crucial realization that every discipline has a stake in the central environmental questions of our time, and that interdisciplinary conversations not only enhance, but are requisite to environmental studies today.--pub. desc.
