»This book will be relevant to any assessment of the current media mechanisms that inform collective understanding of the earth and its ecological dynamics. Young scholars interested in this area would do well to follow up on her notes in order to delve further into the resources she cites.« Graham Burnett, Isis, 6 (2018) »Among the publication's other great merits are Gisela Parak's continuous ambition to embed all photographic images and historical, political, cultural and medial developments in their (trans)national and global contexts.« Susanne Leikam, ICON, 22/4 (2017) »Parak hat in zahlreichen, auch wenig erschlossenen Archiven umfangreich recherchiert und präsentiert eine verknüpfende Auswertung der vielfältigen Dokumente und, in einigen Fällen, überraschende und einleuchtende Neuinterpretationen bekannten Materials.« Ulrike Heine, Rundbrief Fotografie, 24/1 (2017) Besprochen in: Isis, 6 (2018), Graham Burnett
