This handbook is a key critical research resource for researchers and practitioners across the social sciences and their contributions to related disciplines associated with the fast developing interdisciplinary field of sustainability science.

Industry Reviews

The editors of this handbook have assembled an impressive set of contributions from leading environmental social scientific researchers to produce a conceptually rich survey and sometime political manifesto, which demonstrates the vitality of academic research at the nature-society interface today. These volumes will be an invaluable guide for those seeking to understand the broad conceptual trading zones around nature, society, politics, economics, and health that now constitute environmental social sciences, as well as those looking for the novel case studies, policy innovations, and political ideas that indicate the potential of transdisciplinary approaches to complex socio-ecological systems in the future. -- Gail Davies The Sage Handbook of Nature makes a compelling case for the relevance of social science to a planet that is changing its contours as we speak, while also presenting a body of critical thought willing to flex and morph as the familiar ground gives way. A very rare beast indeed - an authoritative text that dares to treat the `naturalising' of social theory not as a vice but as an adventure. -- Nigel Clark
