About the Author
Peter Dauvergne is a professor of international relations at the University of British Columbia. Specializing in the politics of global environmental change, his recent books include Eco-Business and Environmentalism of the Rich.
With the updated Bibliography the standout feature, this second
edition of HistoricalDictionary of Environmentalism is probably
most useful for those undertaking an assignment or beginning
research on aspects of the global environmental movement. As a key
to book-length literature, and with the numerous Web links, the
bibliography provides an unrivalled access point for further
information. This is not to negate the book’s wider value. The
entries in the dictionary sequence offer an excellent overview of
the development and current position of environmentalism, as well
as extensive background on the factors underlying environmental
concerns…. All libraries that have the first edition, even though
it appeared just seven years previously, should consider purchase
of this revised Historical Dictionary ofEnvironmentalism. Public
libraries that did not acquire the 2009 edition may also feel that
this is a title that will be of value to their readers. It offers
an informed, dispassionate and realistic overview of the
development and current state of environmentalism across the globe
and should stand as a valuable counterweight to those who dismiss
scientific fact as ‘fake news’, disdain experts and denigrate those
who seek to protect our environment as ‘tree-huggers’.
