Some books I’ve recently received and\/or am currently reading… If you’d like to review any of them for this blog, let me know. And if there are others published in the last year that should be on this list, let me know that too\u00a0(in the comments).<\/em><\/p>\n

Christophe Bonneuil and Jean-Baptise Fressoz, The Shock of the Anthropocene: The Earth, History and Us<\/a> (Verso, 2016)<\/p>\n

Tim Morton, Dark Ecology: For a Logic of Future Coexistence<\/a> (Columbia UP, 2016) (Thanks for that, Tim<\/a>!<\/em>)<\/p>\n

John Durham Peters, The Marvelous Clouds: Towards a Philosophy of Elemental Media<\/a> (U. of Chicago Press, 2016)<\/p>\n

James Williams, A Process Philosophy of Signs<\/a> (Edinburgh UP, 2016)<\/p>\n

Tom Cohen, Claire Colebrook, J. Hillis Miller, Twilight of the Anthropocene Idols<\/a> (Open Humanities Press, 2016)<\/p>\n

Marisol de la Cadena, Earth Beings: Ecologies of Practice Across Andean Worlds<\/a>\u00a0(Duke UP, 2015)<\/p>\n

Eben Kirksey, Emergent Ecologies<\/a> (Duke UP, 2015)<\/p>\n

Jason Moore, Capitalism in the Web of Life: Ecology and the Accumulation of Capital<\/a> (Verso, 2015)<\/p>\n

And various things of interest to more specific audiences, like\u00a0E. Ann Kaplan’s\u00a0Climate Trauma: Foreseeing the Future in Dystopian Film and Fiction<\/a>,\u00a0John Parham’s Green Media and Popular Culture: An Introduction<\/a>,\u00a0Jussi Parikka’s\u00a0The Geology of Media<\/a>,\u00a0Anil Narine’s\u00a0Eco-Trauma Cinema,<\/a>\u00a0Rust, Monani, and Cubitt’s\u00a0Ecomedia: Key Issues<\/a>, Albert Atkin’s Peirce<\/a>, Henning, Myers, and John’s Thinking with Whitehead and the American Pragmatists<\/a>, Ben Spatz’s What a Body Can Do<\/a>, and others.<\/p>\n

And I’m still catching up on many others in Open Humanities’\u00a0Critical Climate Change<\/a>\u00a0series, which has become required devouring for critical Anthropocene theorists, alongside the same publisher’s\u00a0New Metaphysics<\/a> series. For instance, Isabelle Stengers’ In Catastrophic Times<\/a>\u00a0(pdf).<\/p>\n
