Sommario/riassunto

Though much has been written about the Green Party in Germany, less is known about the changes in individuals'' attitudes towards the environment that led to the rise of environmental movement, or of its cultural roots. This volume draws attention to the breadth of environmentalism in contemporary Germany and its significance for German political culture by focusing on the treatment of ""green"" issues in literature, the media and film, against the background of Green politics and the environmental movement.
