"This is a brilliant book on a very topical issue. I really enjoyed reading it. It’s scientifically rigorous and research-informed but at the same time interesting and easy to follow. I was amazed by the amount and variety of sources used. I would wholeheartedly recommend it both to people with advanced knowledge of the current discourse on corporate social responsibility, feminism and environmental sustainability and to people who want to familiarize themselves with these concepts."- Dr Ioannis Kostopoulos, Liverpool John Moore University, UK"There is no doubt that Martina Topić has opened a new chapter in the development of ecofeminist theory. In an original way, the author applies the conceptual legacy of socialist ecofeminism in her meticulous critical analysis of neoliberal ideology based on reporting on corporate social responsibility and environmental affairs in the British press. It is an academic book that addresses a large audience – those who are academically or actively engaged in ecofeminism, those who report on environmental issues, and those who are aware of the importance of supporting the development of socially responsible media. Of course, it is also unavoidable literature for all those who want to be informed about the potentials of ecofeminist approaches in the 21st century. "- Dr Marija Geiger Zeman, Ivo Pilar Institute of Social Sciences, Croatia"This book brings vital new theoretical insights to bear on the political significance of ecofeminism as a global response to environmental destruction. In exploring the link between environmental destruction and the male-dominated systems responsible for the overconsumption leading the planet to an ecological crisis it highlights differences between a bourgeois liberal feminism which demands the right of women to be included within neoliberalism and an ecofeminism that has at its heart a challenge to both neoliberalism and patriarchy. It offers a timely and necessary contribution to our understanding of the ways in which the concept of corporate social responsibility has been commandeered to provide a cover for neoliberalism practices that continue to deplete natural resources ad inflict irreparable damage on the planet. Crucially it challenges the idea that technological scientific solutions are an answer to our present ecological crisis and demanding we address ideologies of domination and exploitation and the consequences of globalization and colonization which have brought us to this point. It should be read with close attention by anyone interesting in saving our planet."- Dr Deirdre O'Neill, University of Hertfordshire, UK / Editor: Journal of Class and Culture
