“This is not only the best environmental sociology text I’ve used, but it is the best text of any type I’ve used in college-level teaching.” –Dr. Cliff Brown, University of New Hampshire

Join author Mike Bell and new co-author Loka Ashwood as they explore “the biggest community of all” and bring out the sociology of environmental possibility. The highly-anticipated Fifth Edition of An Invitation to Environmental Sociology delves into this rapidly changing and growing field in a clear and artful manner. Written in a lively, engaging style, this book explores the broad range of topics in environmental sociology with a personal passion rarely seen in sociology books. The Fifth Edition contains new chapters entitled “Money and Markets,” “Technology and Science,” and “Living in An Ecological Society.” In addition, this edition brings in fresh material on extraction between core and periphery countries, the industrialization of agriculture, the hazards of fossil fuel production, environmental security, and making environmentalism normal.

About the Author

Michael Mayerfeld Bell is Professor of Community and Environmental Sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. For his day job, he is principally an environmental sociologist and a social theorist, focusing on dialogics, the sociology of nature, and social justice. These concerns for the world have led him to studies of agroecology, the body, community, consumption, culture, development, food, democracy, economic sociology, gender, inequality, participation, place, politics, rurality, the sociology of music, and more. He is also a part-time composer of grassroots and classical music, and a mandolinist, guitarist, and singer.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Loka Ashwood is an associate professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Kentucky. She studies the legal and corporate structures that prompt environmental injustices and animosity toward the state. She uses pragmatism in her work to bridge the depth of theory with the immediacy of change for those most aggrieved. Current she is studying networks of power in energy and agriculture, new organizational patterns to tackle the climate emergency, and community embedded approaches to taking action to remediate environmental contamination. She published the book, For-Profit Democracy: Why the Government is Losing the Trust of Rural America (Yale 2018), and is lead author of Empty Fields, Empty Promises: A Guide to Understanding and Transforming the Right to Farm (2023) and An Invitation to Environmental Sociology (6th edition, Sage, 2021).

The authors take the time to examine many types of solutions and offer joyous commentary throughout. By showing a wide variety of outcomes and examples it demonstrates that what they talk about is in fact real and or attainable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent book, No quotes from al gore so far, ignore that other guy
Reviewed in the United States on 9 June 2016

This is a decent textbook. They offer a lot of quantified data to back up their arguments, well thought approaches and explanations of theories that embody environmental sociology. Also supplies a surprisingly decent overview of on-going environmental issues and some of the science behind them. I have no idea what that other guy Matt Larsen is talking about; I doubt he read much of this book at all. I am an environmental science student and while I have no real interest in sociology or politics and only read this book because I had to, Id say both the book and my environmental sociology class gave me a healthy outlook on how environmental issues come about from human ecological processes. Dont let that other guys review scare you, they even state in the beginning of the book that what they are writing about is influenced by their own political views and you should try and think for yourself rather than agreeing with everything they say. No quotes from al gore were found here lol.
