"Scripting the Environment is an outstanding example of how arts-based research--and scripts in particular--can be used in service of environmental research. Indeed, Geo Takach has taken the fields of arts-based research and environmental studies forward, by showing how the former can be used in service of the latter. This is a well-written, engaging, and insightful book that offers environmentalists new, creative ways to think about conducting and sharing their research. I highly recommend it." (Patricia Leavy, Ph.D., author of "Method Meets Art: Arts-Based Research Practice" and editor of the "Social Fictions series") "Drawing on environmental communication praxis, Takach combines cutting-edge scholarship and applied experience as a screen and stage writer to address the world's largest industrial project in Canada. It is work such as this, persuasive and poetic, that we need to engage to learn how to address the complex challenges we face with greater imagination and renewed hope.
