Technological Forms and Ecological Communication: A Theoretical Heuristic is modern philosophy at its brightest. -- Viacheslav Kudashov, Siberian Federal University Technological Forms and Ecological Communication: A Theoretical Heuristic is a remarkable achievement. Mathur's critical explorations of how technology, ecology, and communication must be reappraised today from a comprehensively global perspective make this study essential reading for those engaged in communication, development, science and technology, or environmental studies. -- Timothy W. Luke, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University With boundless intellect and compassion Piyush Mathur elucidates the centuries-long evolution of our contemporary concepts of science, technology, and communication. In so doing, he reveals their inherent vagueness and relativity, while presenting brave insights into how to address anew our planetary distress. A stunning contribution! -- Chellis Glendinning, Independent scholar and psychologist
