'Its unusual perspective makes this an interesting text. It does
more than just catalogue ideas and events, it tries to analyse
these so that key strands can be extracted.' TEG News
'Martell has pulled off a difficult trick: he has written a book
that will both inform students and engage professional scholars,
and he has secured himself a place in future discussions regarding
the relationship between environment and society.' The
Sociological review
'In aiming to provide a theoretically informed undergraduate
text on contemporary green issues, the book goes some way to
filling a gap where the level of support material is widely
regarded as insufficient.' Antipode
"Ecology and Society makes an important contribution to
this emerging literature by providing an introduction to green
ideas for students of social science. This book will appeal to both
students and researchers. It is written in an accessible style,
provides useful summaries of key literature and suggests further
reading at the end of each chapter ... a useful contribution to the
literature on environment-society relations and a valuable addition
to student reading lists.' Local Environment
