Radical Ecology

This substantially revised second edition of Merchant's classic guide to radical environmental politics and movements, offers a comprehensive overview of the philosophical, ethical, scientific and economic aspects of the environment. With a new introduction, updated chapters, and two new sections on recent global movements and on globalization and the environment, it specifically identifies ways in which radical ecologists can transform science and society in order to sustain life. This classic work by one of the most important voices in the environmental movement is a must-read for those involved in the fields of ecology, sociology and social policy.
