Downstream and Upstream Ecologists

The book examines the environmental movement through a comprehensive international lens, highlighting its persistence and connection to media evolution and societal trends. It navigates the diverse and sometimes conflicting theories held by environmentalists and sociologists, while emphasizing their shared core values. Using the metaphor of protoplasm, Mercier illustrates how these values coexist, providing a deeper understanding of the movement's complexities and its role in contemporary society.
