Environmentalism for a New Millennium

This book presents a history and dispassionate evaluation of American environmentalism, laying out the stages in its development as a social movement, the analyses and debates of the scholars within the movement, from the perspectives of philosophy, political science, and sociology. It can serve as an introduction to environmentalism from the social science perspective, appropriate for use in courses in enviromental ethics, environmental politics and social movements, and American social history, and will be a useful monograph for a wide range of scholars concerned with conservation and the environment.
