"In our increasingly image-based age of communication, politics and culture, the role of film in interpreting and reimaging, challenging and reinforcing, commonsense views of human-nature relations is much more than a study of entertainment and distraction. This new edition of Environmental Ethics and Film is an informed and authoritative guide to how and in what ways film can comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable. And such intellectual and emotional disturbance is needed, as the book eloquently points out, if we are to respond with radical hope to living on our increasingly destabilised planet".

"Professor Brereton clearly shows films contribution to environmental ethics. As someone trained in ethics, not filmography, his first edition helped me incorporate film into ethics teaching and scholarship. This second edition analyses many newer films and remains balanced. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in environmental ethics, which should include all of us."
