Reviews"I built my environmental sociology syllabus around this book. Twenty Lessons provides an excellent introduction to topics studied by environmental sociologists. The critical/political economy perspectives reflect most thinking in environmental sociology today, which is not--unfortunately--reflected by the majority of textbooks in the field. That makes this particular book very important."--Eric Bonds, University of Colorado-Boulder"Twenty Lessons is an excellent reader for an environmental sociology course. It provides a great group of essays by distinguished scholars in the field. It is one of the top books for an undergraduate environmental sociology course out there."--Stefano B. Longo, University of Illinois, Springfield, "I built my environmental sociology syllabus around this book.
