"The edited collection Green Communication and China has burst onto the scene, extending environmental scholarship on China and China-US relations, forging methodologies necessary for meaningful global environmental change, and enriching the psyche. From the historical to contemporary, from leisure practices to labor, and from policy-making to art, this volume inaugurates environmental communication relating to China, foregrounding Chinese intelligentsia. The multimodal and multinational and transnational project helps move us from importing theories to transforming them and rendering national environmental, health, animal, and policy concerns of global import. If you care about the planet and what we can do and say to save it, start with this courageous collection of essays." —Kent A. Ono, Professor of Communication, University of Utah "A must-read for those interested in environmental issues in the globalized China. This collection eloquently weaves influential forces from various sectors to examine how the environment is engaged from the Chinese cultural lens. It includes a wide array of topics ranging from tourism and environmental policies, to responses to governmental practices from nonprofit organizations and civic groups. A groundbreaking resource for researchers and practitioners working in the field of environmental communication."—Hsin-I Cheng, Associate Professor of Communication, Santa Clara University
