Synopsis
The Second Edition of Environmental Communication and the Public Sphere remains the only comprehensive introduction to the growing field of environmental communication. This groundbreaking book focuses on the role that human communication plays in influencing the ways we perceive the environment. It also examines how we define what constitutes an environmental problem and how we decide what actions to take with regards to the natural world. Author Robert Cox also draws on his personal experience as the three-time president of the Sierra Club-the largest environmental group in the United States-to offer insights about the workings of news media, Congress, advocacy campaigns, and other real-world cases of environmental communication.

About the Author
Robert Cox (Ph.D., University of Pittsburgh) is Professor Emeritus at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His principal research areas are environmental communication, climate change communication, and strategic studies of social movements. One of the nation’s leading scholars in environmental communication, he has been President of the Sierra Club three times (2007-2008, 2000–2001 and 1994–1996) and has served for 20 years on the Sierra Club’s Board of Directors. His published work includes critical studies on the discourse of the civil rights, peace, labor, and environmental movements. Cox is also on the Board of Directors for Earth Echo International, dedicated to oceans and marine ecology. He currently advises the Sierra Club on its communication outreach in the U.S., and serves on editorial boards of journals such as Environmental Communication: A Journal of Nature and Culture. Cox advises U.S. environmental groups on their communication programs. He regularly participates in environmental initiatives and has campaigned with former Vice President Al Gore and singer Melissa Etheridge.
Review
"Writing for undergraduate students, Cox explains how communication shapes perceptions of environmental issues; surveys some of the media and public forums that are used for environmental communications and some of the communication practices of ordinary citizens, scientists, corporate lobbyists, and others seeking to influence decisions about nature and the human environment; and identifies conversations and debates taking place locally and globally that students and activists can join." (SciTech Book News 2006-12-05)
"This all combines into an intensive introduction to an important aspect of communication―written by a man who has played an active part in the field about which he writes."
―COMMUNICATION BOOKNOTES QUARTERLY (Christopher H. Sterling Communication Booknotes Quarterly - Vol 39:I January-March 2008 2008-03-18)
