Reviews
Those who read this welcome addition to the field will be treated to a book that is well written, often clever, and surprisingly insightful. -- Grant J. Rich * PsycCRITIQUES *
A broad-ranging and highly readable book. * The Geographical Journal *
Hawkins explores the intersections of habits, bodies, ethics, and waste matter, toggling her discourse between acknowledging the material reality of various wastes and the views derived from cultural theory. Presents alternative approaches to waste in today's world. * CHOICE *
This book is incredibly stimulating and is carried very lightly by Hawkins' accessible and engaging writing. The Ethics of Waste is essential reading for anybody interested in contemporary approaches to waste but it is also an important addition to the sociological literature on consumption, practice and environment. * Sociology *
