In Fractured Communities, Anthony E. Ladd and other leading environmental sociologists present a set of crucial case studies analyzing the differential risk perceptions, socio-environmental impacts, and mobilization of citizen protest (or quiescence) surrounding unconventional energy development and hydraulic fracking in a number of key U.S. shale regions. Fractured Communities reveals how this contested terrain is expanding, pushing the issue of fracking into the mainstream of the American political arena UR - https://doi.org/10.36019/9780813587691?locatt=mode:legacy UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9780813587691 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9780813587691/original ER -
