This list is circulating on other lists, and I thought it would be of interest to GEP folks. Apologies for cross-postings.
Cheers, Rich From: ASA Environmental Sociology Section List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stephen Zavestoski Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2008 10:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Results: Globalization and Environment recommendations Colleagues, Below is the list I compiled based on recommendations sent in response to my request for readings on globalization and the environment. I sorted them by articles and books. The list of articles is rather complete, and alphabetized. The books are titles only in some cases and not in any order. Thanks to all who sent suggestions, especially Chris Biga whose reading list on global environmental inequalities constitutes most of the suggestions below. --Steve Globalization and Environment Bibliography Articles/Book Chapters Abu-Lughod, J.L. 1995.
