Reviews
Clark is at his strongest when walking the reader through his multi-scalar examples of literary criticism, which are a highlight of the book. This book will be a particular asset to those teaching and researching eco-criticism. * Urban Studies *
[This book] represents a valuable contribution to the field of ecocriticism, especially because of its meta-theoretical insights. * Local Environment *
It is a difficult task to do justice to all the valid points that Clark raises in his work. * Miscelanea *
I am very excited by this book. Clark shows a game-changing willingness to face the implications of environmental priorities, and develop new ways of reading based on those priorities. After this book, ecocriticism should never be the same again. * Richard Kerridge, ecocritic, author of Cold Blood (2014) and teacher of Creative Writing at Bath Spa University, UK. *
