‘John Hannigan’s scholarly work is always insightful and often provocative, and this book continues the trend. Hannigan encourages environmental sociologists to give more attention to the moral dimension of environmental issues, offers several compelling examples of the benefits of doing so, and concludes by arguing that developing a “sociology of environmental morality” can revitalize environmental sociology. Whether his call will succeed or not remains to be seen, but his message deserves careful consideration.’
