Celebrating Earth Day 2025

Each year, Earth Day — April 22 — marks the anniversary of what many consider the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970. Earth Day 1970 capitalized on the emerging consciousness, channelling the energy of the anti-war protest movement and putting environmental concerns front and center.

In celebration of Earth Day 2025, we are delighted to offer a 25% discount on a range of selected Environmental Studies and Environmental Anthropology titles, across all formats, with code EARTH25, expiring April 29th.

We are also delighted to offer a free-to-download chapter sampler that brings together chapter extracts from some of our key and essential titles in the area, our new Environmental Studies Chapter Sampler.
