Environment, Social Justice, and the Media in the Age of
Anthropocene addresses three imminent challenges to human society
in the age of the Anthropocene. The first challenge involves the
survival of the species; the second the breakdown of social
justice; and the third the inability of the media to provide global
audiences with an adequate orientation about these issues. The
notion of the Anthropocene as a geological age shaped by human
intervention implies a new understanding of the human context that
influences the physical and biological sciences. Human existence
continues to be affected by the physical and biological reality
from which it evolved but, in turn, it affects that reality as
well. This work addresses this paradox by bringing together the
contributions of researchers from very different disciplines in
conversation about the complex relationships between the
physical/biological world and the human world to offer different
perspectives and solutions in establishing social and environmental
justice in the age of the Anthropocene.
