Presenting and Representing EnvironmentsGraham Humphrys, Michael Williams Springer Science & Business Media, 2005 M10 11 - 218 pages The presentation and representation of the environment occurs throughout academia and across all news media. The strict protocols of science often clash with environmental information available from sources that dwell on subjective aesthetic, emotional and personal sensitivities. This book challenge the reader, as student, teacher, researcher or policy maker, to reflect critically on the ways that environments are studied, interpreted, presented and represented, in education and public policy. |
