    About this ebook

    The papers assembled in this volume should enable readers to understand what too many people today insistently misperceive. Environmental protection is not just a "special interest". It is an essential task for everyone. This book brings together texts by social scientists from the United States, France and Spain. Their common frame of reference is the dialectic between experts and activists in socio-environmental movements, as well as the concern about changes, both cognitive and political, arising in that context. Los trabajos reunidos en este volumen permitirán comprender a los lectores lo que no se percibe correctamente hoy en día: la protección medioambiental no solo es un «interés especial», sino que constituye una tarea esencial para todos. Este libro recoge textos de científicos sociales de los EEUU, Francia y España, cuyo marco común de referencia es la dialéctica entre expertos y activistas de los movimientos socio-medioambientales, así como la preocupación sobre los cambios cognitivos y políticos que surgen en este contexto.
