Anthony Giddens - Sociology

On sustainable development, John Blewitt’s (2018) Understanding Sustainable Development (3rd edn, Abingdon: Routledge) is a very comprehensive and readable introduction. On the risk society, Ulrich Beck’s (2009) World at Risk (Cambridge: Polity) is quite accessible. For ecological modernization, The Ecological Modernization Reader: Environmental Reform in Theory and Practice (2009), edited by Arthur P. J. Mol, David A. Sonnenfeld and Gert Spaargaren (London: Routledge), does precisely what it says.

For environmental justice and ecological citizenship, try Benito Cao’s (2015) Environment and Citizenship (London: Routledge), a genuinely introductory text. Finally, Mark J. Smith and Piya Pangsapa’s (2008) Environment and Citizenship: Integrating Justice, Responsibility and Civic Engagement (London: Zed Books) is a stimulating read.

For a collection of original readings on natural and urban environments, see the accompanying Sociology: Introductory Readings (4th edn, Cambridge: Polity, 2021).
