"Since hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, emerged as a way of extracting natural gas, it has been controversial.

Soon he joined neighbors in fighting to have the practice banned state-wide. At the same time, he turned his scholarly eye to examining the messaging from both sides of the fight, using first-person accounts, interviews, and media coverage.
