Reviews
Empirical, and methodologically sophisticated, this excellent volume is the first systematic comparative study of environmental attitudes using the ISSP in over two decades. It explores with great insight environmental attitudes and behaviour in Europe and elsewhere. Jon Pammett is Professor of Political Science at Carleton University, Canada Firmly based on data from international social surveys, this volume provides a varied and fascinating overview of European environmental perceptions, attitudes and actions. In applying insightful interpretations on a rich collection of available data, it fills a major gap in our understanding of how Europeans think and act about environment. Moreover, the contributions to the book represent a truly European-wide set of analytical angles to the social dimensions of environment. Highly recommended, both as an indispensable resource for further scholarly research, and as a source of inspiration in grasping the complex dynamics of citizen environmental concern. Dr. C.S.A. (Kris) van Koppen, Associate Professor Environmental Policy at Wageningen University and former Chair of the Environment & Society Research Network of the European Sociological Association.
