Reviews

...Ecosee ... makes major contributions to analysis of the visual rhetorics in environmental discourses. - The Year's Work in Critical and Cultural Theory By making visible just how visual communication plays a powerful role in shaping public opinions about the environment, Morey and Ecosee offer useful concepts and theories to continue studying visual rhetorics related to the environment ... This collection particularly encourages us to think about research approaches that go beyond the textual and beyond the social constructionist perspective. - JAC The contributors have provided thoughtful, smart essays that initiate a useful discussion for the field. - Stuart C. Brown, coeditor of Green Culture: Environmental Rhetoric in Contemporary America
