How can we communicate and act more effectively to make the political and economic changes required to survive and even thrive within the life-support capacities of our planet?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is the question at the heart of W. Lance Bennett’s much-anticipated book. Bennett challenges readers to consider how best to approach the environmental crisis by changing how we think about the relationships between environment, economy, and democracy. He introduces a framework that citizens, practitioners, and scholars can use to evaluate common but unproductive communication that blocks thinking about change; develop more effective ways to define and approach problems; and design communication processes to engage diverse publics and organizations in developing understandings, goals, and political strategies. Until advocates develop economic programs with built-in environmental solutions, they will continue to lose policy fights. Putting “intersectional” communication into action requires acknowledging that communication is not only an exchange of messages, but an organizational process.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eCommunicating the Future\u003c\/i\u003e is important reading for students and scholars of media and communication, as well as general readers concerned about the environmental crisis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eW.
