This book appeals to a wide academic audience: master and PhD students in environmental sciences and human ecology, researchers in ecological politics and related fields as environmental law and sociology. Both the subject and the accessible character of the book make it most useful for a wide group of non-expert professionals operating in environmental consultancy and expertise. It is a book for all of us interested in the need for better environmental politics, explanation, and ethics. (Int. J. Environment and Pollution, 1 November 2014)

This fully updated new edition introduces the core concepts, central thinkers, and major works of the burgeoning field of political ecology. * Explores the key arguments and contemporary explanatory challenges facing the sub-discipline * Provides the first full history of the development of political ecology over the last century and its theoretical underpinnings * Considers the major challenges facing the field now and for the future * Study boxes introduce key figures in the development of the discipline and summarize their most important works * Fully updated to include recent events, such as the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill, as well as both urban and rural examples, from the developed and underdeveloped world
