This book offers an in-depth look at the discourse underpinning Western corporate reporting. It provides a much-needed reminder to environmental reporting researchers that they need to consider the philosophical roots of what they are investigating. While a fascinating read, the book provides a sad indictment of the state of most environmental reporting which presents the natural world as separate, and therefore not something for which it has any responsibility. While environmental reporting has come a long way and is becoming almost commonplace, the study presented in this book suggests that corporate entities are still fundamentally antagonistic towards the natural world. -Carol Tilt, University of South Australia, Australia
