I. What does social theory tell us about environmental risk and vulnerability? -- pt. II. Dealing with risk at local scale -- pt. III. Governance and risk. 330 $aRisk and Social Theory in Environmental Management marks a timely contribution, given that environmental management is no longer just about protecting pristine ecosystems and endangered species from anthropogenic harm; it is about calculating and managing the risks to human communities of rapid environmental and technological change. First, the book provides a solid foundation of the social theory underpinning the nature of risk, then presents a re-thinking of key concepts and methods in order to take more seriously the biophysical embeddedness of human society. Second, it presents a rich set of case studies from Australia and overseas, drawing on the latest applied research conducted by leading research institutions. In so doing, the book identifies the tensions that arise from decision making over risk and uncertainty in a contested policy environment, and provides crucial insights for addressing on-ground problems in an integrated way. 606 $aEnvironmental management$zAustralia 606 $aEnvironmental risk assessment$zAustralia 606 $aRisk$xSociological aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnvironmental management 615 0$aEnvironmental risk assessment 615 0$aRisk$xSociological aspects. 676 $a333.7 701 $aMeasham$b Thomas B$0869845 701 $aLockie$b Stewart$0869846 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461946203321 996 $aRisk and social theory in environmental management$91942143 997 $aUNINA
