What is it about?
The present volume offers a mosaic of contributions by scholars from dif- ferent backgrounds, providing a multi-faceted, problematising picture of relations among humans as well as between the human and the non-human, inves- tigated by environmental studies and social ecological perspectives, and involving labour. In turbulent times like these, systems ecology, political ecology, social ecology, ecocriticism, ecofeminism, environmental justice, and environmental humanities here follow and interlink one another, thus offering plural insights around the themes of society and ecology, while more or less explicitly envisioning a sustainable and equitable transforma- tive path past the social, ecological, and sometimes psychological unbeara- bleness of current modernities.

Why is it important?
It is a rare example of transdisciplinary book, spanning from systems thinking to political ecology, from environmental humanities to social ecology. As pointed out in the first chapter, there is a common thread among all of the contributes as well as all of the involved disciplines. The current ecological, social, and economic crises are interconnected, and some bases are lied for their understanding as well as for a subsequent societal transformation.
