Sommario/riassunto

This work is designed to provide a solid foundation for the research of various sociological topics. This volume investigates the relationship between society and the environment. The study of the natural world is centuries old, yet the detrimental impact of human development on the environment is a relatively new topic that has formally developed in the last century.
