About this book
Given how the field is presented – reflecting research carried out on different scales, reaching from local to global as well as from past to present and future – and due to the way the book is structured, it is suitable for classroom use, as a primer, and also as an overview of how Social Ecology evolved, right up to its current research frontiers.
Reviews
“Highly recommendable for environmental historians. … An innovative feature of the book are the so-called Method Precis lessons. These insertions provide in-depth studies of several empirical approaches and explain the applied methods in a comprehensive manner, making a twofold contribution.” (Reinhard Ferdinand Nießner, Austrian Environmental History, Vol. 27, May, 2019)
“This volume on social ecology is the latest impressive outcome of almost three decades of interdisciplinary research. … lt is highly recommendable for both students and researchers in this interdisciplinary field. Tue School's core concepts, like the colonization of nature or social metabolism, are thought-provoking for environmental history.” (Reinhard Ferdinand Nießner, Contemporary Austrian Studies, Vol. 27, 2018)
