<p>“In this broad, informative, and surprisingly searing look into ‘smart’ systems, Maxwell and Miller make a compelling case for rethinking and redesigning digital technologies.”<br /><b>Devra Davis, author of <i>Disconnect: The Truth About Cell Phone Radiation</i></b></p> <p>“Rigorously researched and acutely argued, this provocative book promises to take readers beyond their comfort zones, into the domain of environmental justice and sustainable development.”<br /><b>Jack Qiu, Chinese University of Hong Kong</b></p> <i>“How green is your phone?</i> Encourage us to look at mobile phones from a new perspective, and also have important reference significance for thinking about the impact of daily life technology on the environment.”<br /><b><i>China Media</i> Research</b><br /> <p>“The strength of <i>How Green Is Your Smartphone?</i> is its critical examination of a wide range of issues generated through smartphone production and consumption. ... certainly left me thinking about the global impact generated by my own smartphone use.”<br /><b><i>Media International <i>Australia<br /></i></i></b></p> <p>“In <i>How Green is your Smartphone?</i>, the various issues around labour, environment and political economy are distilled clearly and concisely with a sharp focus. For teaching purposes, this is the book I have been waiting for. … In the spirit of a manifesto, Maxwell and Miller deploy snappy, no-nonsense language to alert us to the urgency of their call to action, namely the creation of a greener communication system.”<i><br /></i><b><i>Prometheus</i></b></p>
