Over at A(S)CENE, we are starting to read Nigel Clark’s Inhuman Nature: Sociable Life on a Dynamic Planet as well as the Punctum Books open-access collection Making the Geological Now: Responses to Material Conditions of Contemporary Life.
Clark’s book has attracted some very intrigued — and a few rather ecstatic — reviews from geographers and social theorists, including a book review symposium in Progress in Human Geography. Back cover blurbers Barry Smart, Myra Hird, and Adrian Franklin call it “magnificent” and “compelling” (Smart), a “watershed for social theory” (Hird), and “possibly one of the most important books you are ever likely to read, particularly if you have been duped into thinking ‘nature’ and ‘planet earth’ are merely benevolent forces at the mercy of an insane, disordered humanity” (Franklin).
“This book does not simply ‘take nature into account’: fires, floods, volcanoes, climate change, and hurricanes take centre-stage in this thorough re-writing of the organic and inorganic. Inhuman Nature asks the most important questions of our time, and is a must-read for anyone who takes nature and our future on this planet seriously.” (Hird)
Alright, then. I’ve been wanting to read it closely for a while now.
Making the Geologic Now features some fascinating contributions from artists, theorists, and scientists, as well as cross-disciplinary collaborations.
Anyone interested is welcome to join us.
is there a paperback version?

Do you mean of the Clark book? That *is* a paperback, at Sage pricing. There’s a PDF circulating online (email me for details). As far as I’m concerned, if they charge so much, they deserve to have their books pirated. (Hope Sage doesn’t black-list me for saying that.)
