Marshaling an astounding array of economic, environmental, and historical facts, Maxwell and Miller debunk the idea that information and communication technologies (ICT) are clean and ecologically benign. The authors show how the physical reality of making, consuming, and discarding them is rife with toxic ingredients, poisonous working conditions, and hazardous waste. But all is not lost. As the title suggests, Maxwell and Miller dwell critically on these environmental problems in order to think creatively about ways to solve them. They enlist a range of potential allies in this effort to foster greener media--from green consumers to green citizens, with stops along the way to hear from exploited\u003cbr\u003eworkers, celebrities, and assorted bureaucrats. Ultimately, \u003cem\u003eGreening the Media\u003c\/em\u003e rethinks the status of print and screen technologies, opening new lines of historical and social analysis of ICT, consumer electronics, and media production.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRichard Maxwell\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor and Chair of Media Studies at Queens College, City University of New York. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eToby Miller\u003c\/strong\u003e is Distinguished Professor of Media \u0026amp; Cultural Studies at the University of California, Riverside.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 9.1 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 25, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42724690198591,"sku":"9780195325201","price":96.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/75aee64f7f5afbb624b6a168b10fb199.webp?v=1765103565","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/greening-the-media-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
