Inhaltsangabe

Offering the first comprehensive and cohesive summary of the input from social science to this field, this book focuses on how humans theorize their relationships to the environment with respect to health and how these ideas are mediated through an evaluation of risk and hazards. Bringing disparate literatures from across several disciplines together with their own applied research and experience, the book questions how social theories and models of the way the world works can contribute to understanding uncertainties. This book is essential reading for those working in the fields of health geography, environmental sociology, anthropology, environmental psychology and environmental politics.
