Description:
How are human societies changing the global environment?
Is sustainable development really possible?
Can environmental risks be avoided?
Is our experience of nature changing?
This book shows how questions about the environment cannot be
properly answered without taking a sociological approach. It
provides a comprehensive guide to the ways in which sociologists
have responded to the challenge of environmental issues as diverse
as global warming, ozone depletion, biodiversity loss and marine
pollution. It also covers sociological ideas such as risk,
interpretations of nature, environmental realism, ecological
modernization and globalization. Environmentalism and green
politics are also introduced. Unlike many other texts in the field,
the book takes a long-term view, locating environmental dilemmas
within the context of social development and globalization.
The Environment: A Sociological Introduction is unique in
presenting environmental issues at an introductory level that
assumes no specialist knowledge on the part of readers. The book is
written in a remarkably clear and accessible style, and uses a rich
range of empirical examples from across the globe to illustrate key
debates. A carefully assembled glossary and annotated further
reading suggestions also help to bring ideas to life.
The book will be a valuable resource for students in a range of
disciplines, including sociology, geography and the environmental
sciences, but also for anyone who wants to get to grips with
contemporary environmental debates.

A Wonderful Update To A Great Old Reference Book!
Format: Hardcover
It's the Merck Manual! If you know medicine but are aware you don't know EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING! (Few if any do!) This is a wonderful reference. If you have no medical knowledge and think this will make you know what doctors know. Don't waste your money. You have to have a basic understanding for this to be helpful. This is a wonderful update to an old favorite.

The most current and inclusive medical reference available mid-2018.
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Here’s the review I wrote for the 19th edition on 2011: I've been getting and using the Merck Manual for over 30 years to answer questions about disease for family and friends (pediatrics through geriatrics) as well as preparing to ask germane questions of physicians responsible for care of family and friends. It is comprehensive in its coverage of the etiology, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of diseases of the human body and contains the latest research results on the treatment options. It's really not that difficult for the layman to understand the medical terminology and the result is factual understanding of the major aspects of disease which you will NOT get from the standard home health care books from Johns Hopkins, Harvard, Mayo Clinic, the AMA or even the Merck Home Health handbook. And, unlike the Merck Manual, these books directed to the laity do not contain the diagnostic information upon which physicians decide precisely what disease they are presented with. Yes, there will be much superfluous information which you may never use, but, when you want and need the information about a specific disease, here's where you should start your education.
The same holds true for the updated 2018 20th edition. I neglected to mention that this manual also contains a plethora of ancillary information including thorough sections on pediatrics, geriatrics, injuries, bites and stings, patient care, alternative medicine, dietary supplements, rehabilitation, normal test values and even legal issues such as advance directives. Yup, it’s pricey, but it’s always proved to be valuable to me.
