Environmental Politics `Review from previous edition '[this] is a serious, well-grounded, and original piece of work which makes a valuable contribution to both the normative and policy-related aspects of contemporary environmentalism.'' Political Studies `'[this] book is that rare thing - a combination of solid empirical social science research integrated with a critical theoretical framework .Schlosberg has produced an original, important and theoretically informed, critical book which deserves to read by all those interested in developing an understanding of grassroots environmental resistance .'' Capitalism, Nature, Socialism `Careful and tightly argued, but also eloquent and readable, Environmental Justice and the New Pluralism deserves a broad audience.
