Ecology and Popular Film: Cinema On the Edge

Authors Robin L. Murray and Joseph K. Heumann examine representations of nature in mainstream film while also looking at film itself as a form of nature writing.

Considering a selection of mainstream movies that embrace a wide variety of environmental themes (from Oil Wells of Baku through Soylent Green to An Inconvenient Truth), the book explores environmental politics, eco-terrorism, ecology and home, tragic and comic eco-heroes, the spectacular, and evolutionary narrative, in a manner that is both accessible and fun. The book also includes a comprehensive filmography of films that deal with environmental themes and issues.
