Addresses new issues of importance, including climate change, population change, the rise of the slow food and farm-to-table movements, and consumer-driven shifts in sustainability Explains key theoretical issues in the field, as well as the most important research, at a level appropriate for readers coming to the topic for the first time Discusses the challenges in ensuring a livable future for generations to come and explores solutions for correcting the damage already done to the environment Offers a powerful, hopeful future vision for improved relations between humans and nature that embraces the idea of community needs rather than consumption wants, and the importance of building trust as a foundation for a sustainable future Review "We need more books like this! Moran provides a wonderfully accessible and compelling introduction to the greatest issue of our times. This book is required reading to understand the all-too-human dimension of the environmental crisis and why there is real hope for recovery." "Tom Lovejoy, The H. John Heinz III Center for Science, Economics and the Environment" "Vintage Emilio Moran! A highly readable, well grounded and insightful stock- taking of human environmental relations--a perspective that will be highly valued by both students and others concerned with an enlightened view of how our species manages or mismanages its habitat." "Daniel G. Bates, Hunter College, CUNY, and Editor, Human Ecology"
