Reviews
This is a book of great interest that addresses a topic of considerable concern among environmentalists in North America and Western Europe today--how to find a third way between 'eco-modernism' and an organic and holistic nature. --Ursula Heise, University of California, Los Angeles This is a vitally important book that stakes out a new position in the environmental humanities. Neyrat offers both a critique of current tendencies in ecological thought and positive proposals for a different philosophical approach. This is not a book of policy recommendations, but rather of basic foundational concerns that any actually policy will have to address and to be answerable to. A powerful and closely reasoned argument that anyone concerned with the fate of the Earth needs to take into account. --Steven Shaviro, Wayne State University An unflinching critique of geoengineering, this book offers hope in a sliver of uncolonized, unmapped, unconstructed space and time, amid the super-storms of ideology, the teleology of historicism, and the bad faith of political actors with vested interests. Planet earth is not an object or a subject, but a trajectory in time and space toward anti-production, entropy, perhaps extinction--cause for a new political ecology in the time of 400+ ppm of C02. --Karen Pinkus, author of Fuel: A Speculative Dictionary
