| Summary |
Today's global media sustains a potent new environmental consciousness. Paradoxically, it also serves as a far-reaching platform that promotes the unsustainable consumption ravaging our planet. Patrick Murphy musters theory, fieldwork and empirical research to map how the media communicates today's many distinct, competing and even antagonistic environmental discourses. |
