Using the concept of 'environing media', the book advances a deeper understanding of how media processes - defined here as the storage, process, and transmission of data - influence human-Earth relations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVirtually all aspects of the interconnected global ecological crisis can be related to the intensification and acceleration of scaling up the human imprint on the planet by technological means. Combining ideas from the humanities, arts, and humanistic social sciences, \u003ci\u003eEnvironing Media\u003c\/i\u003e offers a perspective on how we entered the current geological epoch - the Anthropocene. The ten chapters explore colonial, planetary, and elemental environing media, with cases including indigenous history, ocean monitoring, computational history, climate modeling, environmental history, the air as medium, the biosphere, and the Earth system.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing upon a breadth of examples and expertise in history, anthropology, geography, cultural history, science and technology studies, and media studies, the book discovers a novel approach to human-Earth histories that demonstrates how technologies have mediated between humans and environments and in the process contributed to a societal feedback loop between knowing and doing environment, each impacting the other. \u003ci\u003eEnvironing Media\u003c\/i\u003e is a timely addition for scholars and upper-level students in environmental humanities and media studies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Open Access version of chapters 1, 2, 4, 5, and 7 available at http: \/\/www.taylorfrancis.com\/books\/e\/9781003282891, have been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adam Wickberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032253827\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032253824\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/22\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.42d","brand":"Adam Wickberg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44070926156031,"sku":"9781032253824","price":48.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_86e3b5e5-8497-4b16-918d-7b3fe347100f.jpg?v=1685433139","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/environing-media-adam-wickberg-9781032253824","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
