Reviews
"""Caring for people and planet should go hand-in-hand but mostly do not. Embracing global multiplicity and diversity in hygiene, health, and care assemblages, Kelly Dombroski offers hopeful and creative paths to socioecological change by guarding human and more-than-human life. This is a transformative book for our troubled times and a must-read for research on contemporary care practices.""—Maria Puig de la Bellacasa, author of Matters of Care: Speculative Ethics in More Than Human Worlds ""Kelly Dombroski has written a brilliant book on hygiene as the ‘guarding of life.’ With great honesty, she sets out the possibilities for environmental and social change in a thought-provoking treatise on how to shift from resource-intensive and waste-producing practices to the flourishing of human and nonhuman life, beginning with an appreciation for infant hygiene practices in out-of-the-way places. A must-read for all of us striving to multiply possibilities for planetary transformation and communal wellbeing.""—Wendy Harcourt, International Institute of Social Studies, Erasmus University Rotterdam "
