Description:
This book brings together a set of readings that throw light on the relationship between people and the environment. The editors introduce the concept of "environmental discourses" -- explanations of the world around us -- to help readers understand why human-environmental relationships take on the forms that they do. By using this concept as a unifying theme for the reader, the editors show that the environment is as much a social construct as a unifying theme for the reader, the editors show that the environment is as much a social construct as a physical presence.
