Postenvironmentalism : A Material Semiotic Perspective on Living Spaces

Description

This book presents a vibrant study of the rise, decline, and transformation of environmental thinking.

Building upon current transformation of the relationship between science, technology, society and the environment, the book combines a theory-informed presentation of worldwide cases and crucial events in the history of environmentalism with a journey into scholarly explorations in order to answer the crucial question: where is environmental thinking heading?
