Trade ReviewThe book thus offers a corrective to certain outdated tendencies of ecocriticism and environmental activism, especially the idealisation of ‘pure’ nature …
Green Media and Popular Culture is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the recent past or possible futures of ecocriticism and the environmental humanities. * Nicole Seymour, Green Letters. Vol. 20 (3), 2016 *
