Environmental Communication and the Public Sphere

"The Seventh Edition of the award-winning Environmental Communication and the Public Sphere is the best-selling comprehensive introduction in the field of environmental communication. This groundbreaking book focuses on the role that human communication plays in influencing the ways we perceive, transform, and attempt to heal relations with everything we consider to be the environment - from microscopic chemicals in cosmetics to the climate we breathe.
