Recenzii

"J. Andrew Hubbell and John C. Ryan’s Introduction to the Environmental Humanities is the best introduction to the fundamentals of the Environmental Humanities as a transdisciplinary field. The book offers unchallenging explanations of the field’s key concepts and theories, as well as compelling stories of humans, nonhumans, and environments to induce ecological awareness in the field’s storied expanses." – Serpil Oppermann, Professor of Environmental Humanities, Cappadocia University

Descriere

In an era of climate change, deforestation, melting ice caps, poisoned environments, and species loss, many people are turning to the power of the arts and humanities for sustainable solutions to global ecological problems. Introduction to the Environmental Humanities offers a practical and accessible guide to this dynamic and interdisciplinary field.

This book provides an overview of Environmental Humanities' evolution from the activist movements of the early and mid-twentieth century to more recent debates over climate change, sustainability, energy policy, and habitat degradation in the Anthropocene era. The text introduces readers to seminal writings, artworks, campaigns, and movements while demystifying important terms such as the Anthropocene, environmental justice, nature, ecosystem, ecology, posthuman and non-human. Emerging theoretical areas such as critical animal and plant studies, gender and queer studies, Indigenous studies, and energy studies are also presented. Organized by discipline, the book explores the role that the arts and humanities plays in the future of the planet.

Including case studies, discussion questions, annotated bibliographies, and links to online resources, this book offers a comprehensive and engaging overview of the Environmental Humanities for introductory readers. For more advanced readers, it serves as a foundation for future study, projects, or professional development.
