| Description: |
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 socialmovements, and American social history, and will be a useful monograph for a wide range of scholars concerned with conservation and the environment. |
| Synopsis: |
Although closely associated with the 1960s, the environmental movement has a long history in the United States. In this book, Leslie Paul Thiele describes this history, particularly environmentalism as a social movement, tracing it from its beginnings in the mid-1800s to its broad role in the culture today. With a dispassionate eye, the author presents the key stages in environmentalism's development and the concerns which have driven it. The volume touches on issues in philosophy, political science, and sociology, and can serve as a general introduction to the field or as a textbook for courses in environmental ethics, environmental politics, or American social history. |
