Description: "The age in which people in the West have treated society and nature as essentially separate is at an end. Environmental change and degradation impinge on all our lives, and even our genes are increasingly seen by employers and insurers as commodities. The Natural and the Social: Uncertainty, Risk, Change draws on insights from across the social sciences to examine the changing character of these interrelations between society and nature."--BOOK JACKET.
