Reviews"The book thus offers a corrective to certain outdated tendencies of ecocriticism and environmental activism, especially the idealisation of 'pure' nature ...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, 'With great attention to nuance and complexity, Parham's important contribution to cultural studies highlights the tensions between environmental content and the often anti-environmentalist contexts and circuits in and through which they are disseminated.' -Ursula Heise, University of California, Los Angeles, USA 'From Springwatch to Björk via Bill Bailey, Parham carefully navigates popular media to discover alternative 'green' images and stories which translate ecological ideas into engaging forms of culture.' -David Ingram, Brunel University London, UK
