Presenting and Representing Environments (Hardcover, 2005 ed.)

The presentation and representation of the environment can be found in every academic discipline and is a subject of increasing attention by the media. Scientists use implicit strict codes that need to be clearly understood by users of their findings. Their approach often clashes with alternative environmental information available from other sources that dwell on subjective aesthetic & emotional sensitivities. Historical & literary accounts emphasize subjective responses to the environment, frequently eschewing measurable & measured facts provided by scientific investigation. It is vital to understand how these sources are filtered by users and applied selectively for various purposes in taking practical decisions about environmental action, in a political context and for education purposes. This volume exemplifies these important matters and demonstrate their significance in the fields of environmental action, in political contexts and for environmental education
