Zusatztext "In a year when female lead youth environmental justice movements energize the discussion regarding sustainability, making clear the need to expose, critique and change ‘industrial/breadwinner masculinities’; ‘Gender and Environment’ gives us a much important updated overview of ecofeminist scholarship. Scholarship that actually might hold the key to finding appropriate responses to the fossil fuelled ecocide of our time." - Martin Hultman, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden."This is a book we've been waiting for without actually realising it! In bringing together scholarship on gender and environment across a range of areas, it both illuminates current global challenges and queries the world's ongoing commitment to gender inequality. It is a compelling read, and while it will excite researchers and students, it will also find a ready audience amongst those keen to have a framework to understand global issues. Buckingham has made a fine fist of a complex area." - Professor Margaret Alston, University of Newcastle, Australia."Gender and Environment has always been my go-to book for accessible explanations of the deep connections between gender inequalities and ecological destruction. With this second edition, which is brought to life by new empirical and artistic examples alongside critical reflections on how the world has - and hasn’t - changed in twenty years, Susan Buckingham makes another tremendous contribution to a scholarly field that is more relevant than ever."Sherilyn MacGregor, The University of Manchester, UK"This second edition of Gender and Environment is a great resource for anyone interested in exploring the links between gender and social inequality and environmental destruction. Susan Buckingham seamlessly fuses eco-feminist theory and research with practical examples of how this works on the ground. This is a brilliant book that will help to inform our work at WEN." - Kate Metcalf, Co-Director, WEN (Women's Environmental Network) Informationen zum Autor Susan Buckingham writes, researches, advises and broadcasts on gender and environment.
