Abstract

Social sciences have been trying to explain environmental problems for some time. The three works reviewed here are examples of an encounter between this concern and materialist thought. With a fresh look, these books use some of the major concepts of this tradition to address the challenges of the 21st century. They are all based on a clear political commitment, and do not hesitate to try to anticipate what the political forms of the coming decades might be.
