This intriguing book transcends academic disciplines to invite new provocations about maps, stories, images, and places in the digital age. It is a unique contribution to environmental studies that reads like a comet, leaving notable traces and teachings for ecological storytelling including those shared by young people, ecofeminists, Indigenous communities, and geographers. -- Kate Tilleczek, York University "A fascinating look at the various theoretical frameworks, technologies, methods, and approaches to new and emerging applications of geomedia as a communications and pedagogical tool for understanding global issues. The scholars in this book share compelling research and case studies that demonstrate the historical, temporal, and spatial affordances of geo-locative applications that combine to provide additional context to complex global issues currently being studied. This book serves as a resource to using geomedia in these new and productive ways." -- Charles Hopkins, UNESCO Chair in Reorienting Education towards Sustainability "This wide-ranging, interdisciplinary anthology brings together original and timely ecocritical work that explores the power of GIS and geomedia to address important questions of environmental justice. Committed to a critical pedagogy firmly rooted in an environmental humanities framework, the chapters in this collection provide valuable resources for researchers, teachers, and policy makers to understand climate shift from a humanities perspective." -- Markus Reisenleitner, York University Shaping a just and sustainable future requires bold ideas and bold actions. As the editors of this volume argue, mapping is a powerful form of storytelling that can educate, engage, and enable critical reflections on the dire ecological emergency and environmental injustices of our time. The volume chapters span important meta-themes linked to Indigenous scholars geographical information methods, integration of cultural with biophysical datasets, and classroom-based engagements. The Emerging Role of Geomedia in the Environmental Humanities is a must read for those wanting to extend possibilities for how we evolve stories that shift society in a more just and sustainable direction. -- Alice J.
