Description: In Fractured Communities, Anthony E. Ladd and other leading environmental sociologists present a set of crucial case studies analyzing the differential risk perceptions, socio-environmental impacts, and mobilization of citizen protest (or quiescence) surrounding unconventional energy development and hydraulic fracking in a number of key U.S. shale regions.

Review Quotes: "Fractured Communities reveals how this contested terrain is expanding, pushing the issue of fracking into the mainstream of the American political arena."-- "Environmental Sociology Newsletter"
