"Hansen and Cox’s updated Handbook powerfully illustrates the importance of environmental communication scholarship and practice in contributing to societal change. Reflecting upon the field’s achievements thus far, the editors and multiple authors of this collection also help (re)orient its future directions, making issues of justice a critical and necessary focus of its work."Julie Doyle, Professor of Media and Communication, University of Brighton, UK.
