Overview

What is wrong with society and the individual? Why do most people not act in environmentally responsible ways? These are the central questions discussed in the present book. It will serve as an important reader for the growing number of socially orientated environmental scientists who are interested in how people deal with environmental issues, which in turn results from the complex interactions of values and attitudes towards society, its institutions and nature. These analyses are of increasing importance and counterbalance the current scientific and technological approaches to environmental problems.
