Introduction. Reading the environment in popular culture -- Ecology and spectacle in Oil wells of Baku : close view : the first eco-disaster film? -- Environmental politics : Pare Lorentz's The river and the Tennessee Valley Authority -- Reconstructing underground urban space in Dark days -- Ecology, place, and home in Dark city : is it our nature to live in the dark? -- Environmental nostalgia and the tragic eco-hero : the case of Soylent green and the 1970s eco-disaster film -- The comic eco-hero : spoofing eco-disaster in Eight legged freaks -- Eco-terrorism in film : Pale rider and the revenge cycle -- Car culture and the transformation of the American landscape in The fast and the furious -- Film ecology : simulated construction and destruction in Hooper -- Apocalypse as a "return to normality" in 28 days later and 28 weeks later -- Conclusion: Al Gore's An inconvenient truth and its skeptics : a case of environmental nostalgia.

"Ecology and Popular Film examines representations of nature in mainstream film while also looking at film itself as a form of nature writing. Considering a selection of mainstream movies that embrace a wide variety of environmental themes, Robin L. Murray and Joseph K. Heumann explore such themes as environmental politics, eco-terrorism, ecology and home, tragic and comic eco-heroes, the spectacular, and evolutionary narrative, in a manner that is both accessible and fun. The book also includes a comprehensive filmography of films that deal with environmental themes and issues."--BOOK JACKET.
