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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "In Fractured Communities, sociologist Anthony Ladd and a roster of leading young (and some old) environmental sociologists present a set of crucial sociological 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 (or source rock formations) across the country. Ladd and his contributors find that the rapid development of shale gas and oil reserves through high volume hydraulic fracturing (HVHF) methods has spawned a growing anti-fracking movement that has been gaining political clout and scientific credibility nationwide, especially since Josh Fox's academy award-nominated documentary Gasland was released in 2010. In shale communities across the country (e.g. the Marcellus, Barnett, Tuscaloosa, Utica, Monterey, Woodford, Eagle Ford, etc.), citizens have mobilized to express concerns or protest what they perceive as a wide range of negative socio-environmental impacts associated with unconventional energy development and fracking--particularly its threats to water, air, land, climate, public health, animals, and sustainable economic development. To date, over 475 community bans against fracking have been passed in 24 states, including cities like Pittsburgh, and statewide moratoriums are in effect in New York and Vermont. Additionally, national moratoriums exist in France, Ireland, Scotland, and Bulgaria, Pope Francis has publically declared his opposition to fracking, and debates over shale drilling are growing across the European Union, South Africa, South America, and Australia"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Hydraulic fracturing $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Hydraulic fracturing $x Risk assessment $z United States. 650 0 $a Petroleum industry and trade $z United States. 650 0 $a Shale gas industry $z United States. 650 7 $a SCIENCE $x Environmental Science. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a NATURE $x Environmental Conservation & Protection. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE $x Environmental Policy. $x Environmental Policy. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x Regional Studies. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x Rural. $x Rural. $2 bisacsh 700 1 $a Ladd, Anthony E., $d 1953- $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Fractured communities. $d New Brunswick : Rutgers University Press, 2017 $z 9780813587684 $w (DLC) 2017023793 830 0 $a Nature, society, and culture. 941 $a 3 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20230602010420.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20230602010044.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20181116030345.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=75A5D11C580511E8A8F83C5097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
