"Twenty Lessons in Environmental Sociology does a great job covering the main components of environmental sociology as a field, the main theories and perspectives, research areas, and general findings and insights. Overall, the coverage is much better than competing books. I have recommended this text to colleagues and will continue recommending it."--Chenyang Xiao, American University "Each section includes distinct 'lessons' that are based on leading work in the field, but written for an undergraduate audience. Each lesson goes into reasonable depth on one aspect of the section's theme. This organization lends itself easily to how I structure my course. Other undergraduate texts I've examined move from one topic to another without a larger conceptual focus. Gould and Lewis' approach is unique and effective."--Kristen Shorette, SUNY Stony Brook "Twenty Lessons in Environmental Sociology provides a clear, coherent, logically-organized synthesis of the major themes and ideas in environmental sociology, and raises students' conscious awareness of dire environmental issues by analyzing them through these themes. I like the approach and find it unique and effective."--Robert Garot, CUNY John Jay College "The book's approach is fantastic--it introduces students to the topics, but also to environmental sociologists themselves--this is unique and highly effective. It changes the 'voice' of the text, which is useful for keeping students engaged."--Erik Nielsen, The Pennsylvania State University, "Twenty Lessons in Environmental Sociology does a great job covering the main components of environmental sociology as a field, the main theories and perspectives, research areas, and general findings and insights.
