Environmental Sociology: Risk and Sustainability in Modernity examines the encounter between sociology and contemporary environmental issues. It presents the proposal for an environmental sociology considering the dilemmas surrounding sustainable development, ecological modernization, and risk society. In this book, Cristiano Luis Lenzi critically examines these concepts, aiming to show how controversial environmental sociology still is. The book offers a nuanced interpretation of some of the issues and disputes that arise in the debate over these approaches in the sociological literature.

On the one hand, it is a very comprehensive review of a literature pertaining to environmental sociology. On the other hand, it is a sophisticated, abstract discussion of two theoretical perspectives that do not quite reflect the totality of the field…. As a resource for graduate students and faculty… it will be valuable, particularly for the way in which it thoroughly reviews Beck and Giddens and their concepts of sustainable development, the risk society, and ecological modernization, something that environmental sociological researchers seldom incorporate into their work. Highly recommended. Graduate students and faculty.
