Tim Morton has kindly posted<\/a> about the cover art Indiana University Press gave my nearly decade-old (but none the worse for wear) book, Claiming Sacred Ground<\/a>, which he likes for its “polyvalent symbolism” incorporated into a Mondrianesque design. The photo in the midst of that design is one I took looking up to the top of Glastonbury Tor. Glastonbury is one of the two sites I focus on in the book’s analysis of landscape, nature, “practices of place,” and the politics of imagination.<\/p>\n

I have some copies to spare, which I’d be happy to share at cost ($10 inclusive of shipping, or really whatever you’re willing to reasonably pay). First come, first served. Send me an email with your address; and bear with me, since I’m terrible with sending things through the mail. (In this day of clicking on keys and tapping on screens, it seems like an impossible task to pack something and carry it to the post office during business hours. But I would do it, for the cause.)<\/p>\n

Added later:<\/em><\/p>\n

It seems I jumped the gun in offering to send the book internationally at that price. The U.S. has eliminated its surface mail rate (sometime in the last few years), thanks apparently to paranoia around ‘homeland security,’ and the cost of shipping the book by air mail works out to $15 U.S., which doesn’t include the cost of the book. So it’s best to get it through your local Amazon or some other venue. I believe that parts of it can be found at aaaaarg, but if your local library doesn’t have it, you can always ask them to order it. Sorry for any confusion about that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
