Short description:
Environment, Social Justice, and the Media in The Age of the Anthropocene / Piga, Maria Lucia; Dobbins, Elisabeth; Manca, Luigi. - 1:(2020), pp. 1-425.
abstract:
This anthology is a selection of essays by diverse academicians from a wide
range of disciplines, who address three imminent challenges to human society
in the age of Anthropocene—that is, the epoch of our planet’s history in
which human behavior has reshaped the world in which we live and evolve.
The first challenge addresses the survival of the species; the second the breakdown
of social justice; and the third the inability of the media—which we see
as the extensions of humanity’s collective intelligence—to provide global
audiences with an adequate orientation about these issues.
