Review Quotes:
"Antonio Lopez's excellent book on ecomedia literacy makes major contributions to a growing literature on the topic that is important for making education relevant for key issues and problems of the day, and is important as well that citizens become aware of the growing ecological crises and challenges to a sustainable future."
Douglas Kellner, Distinguished Research Professor of Education, UCLA, USA
"Antonio Lopez is one of the remarkable media educators who has been working for years on developing a holistic and systemic framework for understanding media--a framework that incorporates a deep understanding not only of the politics and economics of media technologies, but of the ways they ethically implicate us as citizens active within expanding circles of social responsibility. Lopez's 'ecomediasphere' model presents an admirable synthesis of insights from popular education, media and cultural studies, and the rapidly growing field of ecomedia theory and practice. This is cutting-edge work on a topic that couldn't be more important."
Adrian J. Ivakhiv, Professor of Environmental Thought & Culture, University of Vermont, USA
