Society & Natural Resource Book Series
We Welcome New Book Proposals!
The Society & Natural Resources Book Series includes books that examine the complexity of interrelationships among human societies, biophysical and built environments and natural resources. We are especially interested in works that engage emergent issues and inform transformations between society and natural resources toward greater social and environmental justice, health and sustainability/resilience.
The series seeks submissions across a diversity of methods, theories, and disciplines rather than being directed or privileging any given approach. The series is casting a broad net to build from any (or combinations) of the environmental/natural resource social sciences.
Society and Natural Resources Book Series. The University Press of Colorado and the Society and Natural Resources Press, in cooperation with IASNR, co-publish the Society and Natural Resources Book Series. Books in this series are accounts of human behavior, natural resources, and the environment for classroom adoption and the natural resource professional community. The Society and Natural Resources Book Series includes books that examine the complexity of interrelationships among human societies, biophysical and built environments and natural resources.
We welcome new book proposals! The series is especially interested in works that engage emergent issues and inform transformations between society and natural resources toward greater social and environmental justice, health, and sustainability/resilience. The series does not privilege any particular research method, theory or discipline; it seeks submissions that build from any (or combinations) of the environmental/natural resource social sciences. Works that contribute to our understandings and actions on how global processes intersect with localities, in the South, North, or through comparative case studies are encouraged.
We are particularly interested in publishing new books on the following topics:
- climate justice
- environmental policy and governance
- natural resource utilization, management and decision-making
- social and cultural change as it relates to environmental change
- sustainability/resilience transitions
- social-ecological systems dynamics
- practice-informed resource management
- institutional innovations
- political economy/ecology perspectives on natural resource change and conflict.
All proposals for new books in the series should follow the press submission guidelines, and submissions will be evaluated by the press acquisitions staff, editorial board, and outside experts.
