Book of the Year, Global Communication and Social Change Division of the International Communication Association (ICA), 2018<br /><br /> "There is hardly a topic that is more important and yet underresearched than the ways in which media. . . have (mis)represented environmental issues in recent decades. Patrick Murphy has the right credentials, reputation, and ability for the challenge. Given the importance of the topic, this books merits inclusion on the adoption lists of a wide spread of media, environmental, and discourse studies courses (among others) at undergraduate and graduate levels."--<i>Mass Communication and Society</i>

"How is it that in less than four years Discovery replaced <i>Ten Ways to Save the Planet</i> with programming encouraging meat consumption, while <i>The Walking Dead</i> now provides post-apocalyptic survival techniques to a global audience? Murphy provides essential scholarship of environmental discourses within the politics and economies of transnational media."--Libby Lester, author of <i>Media and Environment: Conflict, Politics and the News</i>

"This book is addressing a universal crisis that right now, as we speak, is rapidly mainstreaming. It is a text that will be recognized as a critically important, highly innovative, and possibly paradigm-changing contribution to our understanding of how mediated discourses work to destroy our planet."--Oliver Boyd-Barrett, author of <i>Communications Media, Globalization, and Empire</i><br />
