Nature and Sociology will prove an invaluable travel guide for adventurous
sociologists looking to try their luck on this ‘Northwest Passage’ of social theory.
Anders Blok, Copenhagen University, Denmark, Acta Sociologica
'the overall result is an assured, insightful and intelligent book.'
Mike Bury Royal Holloway University of London, Sociology of Health and Illness
'Let me be clear right away: Newton does an excellent job as the Roald Amundsen of social theory, skilfully navigating this risky terrain. Nature and Sociology is a well-researched, wellwritten and theoretically compelling book on one of the most far-reaching, timely and fascinating topics in current social science. It will appeal directly to sociologists (such as the undersigned) working within the fields of the environment, the natural sciences, the body and emotions; and, due to its theoretical sophistication, it contains much of more general interest.' Anders Blok Copenhagen University, Denmark
