Description: This book analyses the socio-economic and political forces driving the climate emergency, developing the concept of 'sociogenic climate change' to show how societies create the crisis and are challenged by it; the development of inequalities within and between countries are at the heart of generating the emergency and in obstructing its resolution.
Review Quotes: Mark Harvey applies a wide-angle lens to the ultimate global crisis - climate change - demonstrating that a social scientific understanding of the historical development of societal ecologies is crucial. An original contribution of importance to all concerned with understanding problems and solutions.--Alan Warde, Sustainable Consumption Institute, University of Manchester, UK
