John Parham is Principal Lecturer in Media and Cultural Studies at the University of Worcester, UK and Associate Head (Research) in the Institute of Humanities and Creative Arts. He is co-editor of the journal Green Letters: Studies in Ecocriticism and his research focuses on the connections between popular culture, literature and ecology.

The book thus offers a corrective to certain outdated tendencies of ecocriticism and environmental activism, especially the idealisation of ‘pure’ nature … Green Media and Popular Culture is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the recent past or possible futures of ecocriticism and the environmental humanities.
