Reviews

"Peter Dickens' new contribution to environmental sociology, "Reconstructing Nature belongs to a category of innovative analysis that transcends the old ideological battles between the proponents of Marx's humanism and those of his historicism, looking instead to reconcile these aspects of Marx's work in his naturalism Dickens, like others who have pioneered green Marxist theory, is to be commended for his courage in standing against the tide of idealist constructionism to consider the dialectical relationship between the historical, material world and our ideas about it."
