In Oceans as Archives, the ocean forms a generative site to develop practices of reading, writing, thinking, and imagining a long era of climate catastrophe. Many scholars, artists, and activists have argued that climate catastrophe demands new methods of writing, representation, and critique that attend to the violences and erasures of the past and create new possibilities for a collective future. Indigenous, Black, and (formerly) colonized peoples have centered oceans as sites of contest and connection, spaces of subversion, multispecies entanglement, ancestral knowledge, and as sources of life. Including short and long essays, poems, and creative interventions, this volume centres oceans as archives to expand engagements with ocean justice from non-Eurocentric critical lineages characteristic of the racial capitalocene. It speaks to questions of oceanic past-present-futures from an array of ocean regions, (inter)disciplinary fields, his/her/theirstories, surfaces and depths. This scholarship - in all its multiplicity - forms a compass, a guide, a critical reminder that there have always been ways to think with the ocean beyond European cartography, extraction, capitalism, and colonization. Oceans as Archives will be essential reading for those interested in Critical Ocean Studies, Environmental Humanities, Indigenous Studies, Black Studies, Cultural Studies, Sociolegal Studies, Geography, and Oceanography.

Tracing grassroots activism in response to a devastating transnational oil spill On the morning of June 23, 1976, the NEPCO 140 barge, carrying 8.7 million gallons of thick crude oil, ruptured twice while plying the swift straits of the St. Lawrence River's Thousand Islands region. Before the spill was halted, 300,000 gallons of oil had leaked, polluting eighty miles of the river and ruining shorelines on both the New York and Canadian sides. It was the largest inland oil spill in United States history to that date, and the clean-up took 122 days and cost around $8 million. The disaster also prompted concerned citizens to form Save the River, one of the most enduring environmental organizations in North America. In Defending a Borderland, environmental historian Neil Forkey examines environmental activism along the St. Lawrence River from both sides of the international border. He focuses on the period from the 1970s to the 1990s, when numerous citizen groups activated to protect the natural environment against pollution, development, and other perceived threats. Along with reacting to the "Slick of '76," their actions included stopping low-level military flights, preventing government land acquisition to create an extended park, and blocking new power lines through the countryside. By considering the St. Lawrence Valley-a shared space between Canada, the United States, and Mohawk territory-Forkey brings a rare transnational approach to environmental analysis. He also highlights rural, local, and conservative perspectives, all of which are understudied. Using deep archival research and oral histories, Forkey reveals the myriad ways US and Canadian citizens organized before social media, gathering around kitchen tables, and in school auditoriums, to determine ways to reach government officials and neighbors and make lasting changes to protect the natural areas around them for future generations.

This Element addresses a range of pressing challenges and crises by introducing readers to the Maya struggle for land and self-determination in Belize, a former British colony situated in the Caribbean and Central America. In addition to foregrounding environmental relations, the text provides deeper understandings of Q?eqchi? and Mopan Maya people's dynamic conceptions and collective defence of community and territory. To do so, the authors centre the voices, worldviews, and experiences of Maya leaders, youth, and organisers who are engaged in frontline resistance and mobilisations against institutionalised racism and contemporary forms of dispossession. Broadly, the content offers an example of how Indigenous communities are reckoning with the legacies of empire whilst confronting the structural violence and threats to land and life posed by the driving forces of capital accumulation, neoliberal development, and coloniality of the state. Ultimately, this Element illustrates the realities, repercussions, and transformative potential of grassroots movement-building 'from below.' This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

Providing an exploration of the discussion on how a stronger ethical basis for the work of environmental health practitioners (EHPs) can contribute to improved public health, because EHPs/environmental health officers (EHOs) come into daily contact with members of the public to address threats to their health and wellbeing. This book examines what is meant by professional ethics and the role of professional bodies in ensuring members of the profession act ethically. They should be expected to act as guardians of the public interest, without fear or favour. Ethics is an integral part of public health decision-making and needs to be incorporated into public and environmental health policy development and decision-making. This work, while seeking to stimulate debate within the environmental health profession, will examine what this means for EHPs.Ethics and the Environmental Health Profession: The Importance of Being Ethical explores the process of ethical decision-making in the environmental health profession and asks the question of whom EHPs have an ethical duty towards in their work. It looks at a variety of ethical issues which arise for EHPs working in local government, as consultants or for commercial companies.This book is useful for EHPs globally, other local government officers, educational establishments where environmental and public health courses are run globally, elected members of local authorities, and policymakers at national and local government levels.

This Element discusses the presence of ruins in contemporary environmental imagination. Contemporary ruins, much more than those that served as constituents of Romantic and Gothic aesthetics, simultaneously express a fascination with and a dread of the non-human agencies at play in the world, while also countering the nostalgic dimension of traditional representations of ruins. The contemporary success of ruins can be connected to the sense of planetary precarity induced by anthropogenic climate change, and to the widespread presence of eco-anxiety in the public conscience. Moreover, at the centre of ruins' aesthetic power is the interaction of human and non-human forces, and in the process of ruination, buildings and monuments find new meaning thanks to the intervention of external agents that human civilization has long attempted to tame or eliminate and that make a disturbing return as soon as anthropic activity ceases.

This important book combines insights from disciplines as diverse as developmental psychopathology, pediatrics, and public policy to offer a detailed description of the impact of global crises such as armed conflict, climate change, and environmental degradation on the developing child.The book explores both the direct harms of these crises as well as those caused indirectly including family separation, strained caregiving relationships, loss of cultural resources, and damage to children's self-efficacy and emotion regulation abilities. Using case studies from the last few decades, the authors demonstrate the interconnectedness of seemingly disparate systems such as soil health, family cohesion, individual coping skills, nutrition availability, and economic policy, all with an eye to the urgent developmental processes unfolding within and around the child.This text is core reading for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students in child psychology, social work, public health, health care, public policy, and public affairs. Also, by offering several roadmaps by which individuals, organizations, communities, and nations may leverage resources at each level of a child's ecology to support healthy development, this book will be of interest to professionals working in humanitarian sectors as well as leaders in global pediatrics.

Critical Consciousness provides insight into the antagonism and disputative dialogue present in contemporary discourse.Taking a broad, pluralistic psychoanalytic perspective, the authors shed light on how and why ideology and conflict have infiltrated education, environmentalism, and psychoanalysis. This book unpacks forms of indoctrination and rejection of new ideas in environmentalism, considers the desubjectification of the human in mental health "services," and assesses how the educational world needs leaders who can articulate unspoken educational aims that perpetuate inequalities, hidden oppression, and their pathogenic effects on disenfranchised groups. This book takes account of the competing schools of psychoanalysis, their members' dismissiveness and enmity toward each other, and their rationalized resistances to discussion across the aisles. From that viewscape, a challenging path forward is proposed.Critical Consciousness will be of great interest to psychoanalysts in practice and in training, and to readers interested in the psychological aspects of dehumanization, competition, and opposing group identity.

Sohns, Antonia (ed.), Artistic Dialogues with the Arctic North: Environmental Change and Identity in Transition. (Routledge Environmental History) 212 pp. 2025:12 (Routledge, UK) <755-898>
ISBN 978-1-032-90030-8 hard ¥42,267.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

This book brings together Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists and scholars to explore how environmental changes in the Arctic are being experienced, understood, and represented. As climate change unfolds across vast geographies and long timescales, its impacts-on identity, wellbeing, cultural resources, and ways of life-are intimate, abrupt, and deeply felt.Across thirteen chapters, authors from diverse regions, disciplines, and artistic practices document and respond to these shifts, offering nuanced insights into the lived realities of a warming North. From ephemeral transformations in the land to the erosion of shared memory and subsistence traditions, these creative and scholarly responses serve as powerful forms of witnessing and response. Rather than relying solely on metrics or models, this volume emphasizes sensory, emotional, and cultural knowledge, foregrounding how individuals and communities are making sense of, and responding to, ecological disruption. It offers a vital perspective on the disproportionate and uneven impacts of climate change, and the urgent need to attend to its effects at both personal and planetary scales.This is an essential resource for scholars, students, and practitioners in environmental history, Indigenous studies, climate policy, art and visual culture, and global development, and for anyone seeking new ways to engage with environmental change through art, experience, and collaboration.

For some Germans, Nazism represented an ecological outlook and a return to a simpler, healthier, more natural way of life founded on environmental harmony. That image fundamentally conflicts with the astonishing destructiveness of the Nazi military machine and its legacy of concentration camps, dictatorship, and mass murder. This study argues that these two facets of Nazism, the ecological and the imperial, were integrally intertwined. Peter Staudenmaier uses new archival evidence to examine this contested history, ranging from early organic farming movements to landscape protection advocates. In doing so, Staudenmaier reveals a remarkable range of practical endeavors in Nazi Germany that were shaped by ecological ideals coupled with potent racial myths. The Politics of Nature in Nazi Germany challenges previous scholarly frameworks, bringing together environmental history and the history of Nazism in new and revealing ways.

Humanity's impact on the planet is undeniable. Fairly and effectively addressing environmental problems begins with understanding their causes and impacts. Is overpopulation the main driver of environmental degradation? Poverty? Capitalism? Poor governance? Imperialism? Patriarchy? Clearly these are not technical questions, but political ones. Updated to cover new debates, data, and policy, and expanded to include chapters on colonialism, race and gender, and the impacts of energy and resource extraction, this book introduces students to diverse perspectives and helps them develop an informed understanding of why environmental problems occur. How the international community should act is deeply contested. Guiding students through the potential responses, including multilateral diplomacy, transnational voluntary action, innovative financial mechanisms, problem displacement, consumer-focused campaigns, and resistance, this book explains the different forms of political action, their limitations and injustices. Online resources include lecture slides, a test bank for instructors and updated weblinks to videos and suggested readings for students.

Thomas, Virginia, Rewilding and Reintroductions in Britain: Human Interactions with Conservation. (Routledge Studies in Conservation and the Environment) 206 pp. 2025:11 (Routledge, UK) <755-901>
ISBN 978-1-032-59834-5 hard ¥42,267.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

This book examines how rewilding and species reintroductions play a crucial role in conservation and ecological restoration in Britain.The book examines how humans think about and interact with our environment and nature, and how competing interests surrounding conservation, land-use (in particular agriculture), and social-cultural issues can be reconciled. Rather than taking a stance which is aligned to either conservation or farming, as many other books do, this book examines how these two land uses are being negotiated in the discourse and reconciled in practice. Drawing on research involving visits to rewilding and reintroduction projects and interviews with conservation experts, practitioners and stakeholders, the book examines two landscapes sites - the Avalon Marshes in Somerset and Wild Ennerdale in Cumbria - and three species: cows, the European Wildcat and the Red Kite. It also examines the role played by public figures, whether activists, environmentalists or celebrities, in promoting rewilding. The book argues that rewilding in Britain is domesticated, in that it is more compatible with people and other land use than is often the case with rewilding in other parts of the world. This extends from the smaller scale at which it occurs, to the different names by which it is known, to the way that humans are still intervening in rewilding landscapes, and the very careful consideration which is being given to which animals are involved and how they are managed. Overall, this book provides insights into how rewilding in Britain is evolving with the potential impacts on land use and land use decision making.This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of rewilding, conservation, ecological restoration, human-wildlife interactions and environmental management more broadly.

Once dismissed as "tragedy," the commons have been making a comeback. Amid intensifying social and environmental injustices in neoliberal regimes, scholars and activists have turned to the commons - historically, the shared ownership of land - as a way to express more just ways of living within and against the grasp of capitalism. Resurgent Commons reframes the commons by foregrounding relations of care and socio-ecological reproduction, while questioning anthropocentric formulations that would render the commons a set of available resources and the product of human cooperation. Interdisciplinary in nature, Tola's book troubles universalist accounts of the commons by unearthing its ambivalent role in European colonial histories marked by racial and sexual violence and environmental destruction. As central case studies, the book considers contemporary political projects that enact feminist, anti-racist and more-than-human practices of urban commoning in Rome, a sprawling built environment in the European South that is also a city of ruins. From transfeminist commons to struggles for repairing areas where industrial ruins and recalcitrant natures coexist, to encounters with indigenous perspectives from the Americas, resurgent commons enact forms of life that are at odds with dominant regimes of property and governance. The book shows how a reconsideration of a supposedly obsolete mode of shared ownership can enable new modes of inhabiting the earth.

ISBN 978-1-041-08363-4 hard ¥15,446.- (税込) GB￡ 52.99

Sea Cucumber Stories explores multispecies entanglements and ocean worldings, from a sea cucumber perspective. Drawing on environmental, multispecies and ocean anthropology, it enlists the sea cucumber to tell stories of how and why the ocean and its creatures matter to life on our blue planet. The chapters draw on multisited, multimodal and multisensory fieldwork in Tanzania, where the sea cucumber is undergoing interesting transformations, from an ocean creature created by God to a commodity in the global seafood market, farmed for export to China. While breaking new ground in multispecies anthropology, this creative book builds on the author's earlier work in digital and literary anthropology. Sea cucumber stories are told from an imaginary as well as a scholarly perspective. The sea cucumber is treated as a fellow creature to draw attention to the wonders of multispecies undersea worlds and the troubles of human exploitation of what is perceived as a marine resource.

The ecological crisis at a planetary scale has heightened our awareness of the geological impact of human activities and the possibility of human species extinction. Within the heightened consciousness of hubris and vulnerability encoded in the Anthropocene discourse, how do we comprehend the human place in nature and analyse the multiple scales of time, space, and capital movements that characterize specific socio-natures?Addressing the methodological challenge of studying metabolic relations, flows, and processes across these multiple scales, Environmental Studies from India brings together distinguished scholars who explore such questions from diverse disciplinary perspectives. Empirical studies grounded in specific contexts are employed to develop a perspective suited to a society saturated with Anthropocene discourses. The volume is structured around five interwoven themes: reframing space, rethinking the region; commons and commodification; environmental subjectivities and socio-natures; metabolic social ecologies and infrastructural labour; and the Anthropocene as everyday experience. Each section comprises essays that approach the theme from different angles, encouraging conversations rather than coherence across disciplinary boundaries. From rivers and marshes to forests, grasslands, orchards, fields, cities, and industries, contributors draw from diverse landscapes in India to develop pathways for Environmental Studies that can effectively engage with the contemporary planetary crisis.

This book focuses on climate change impacts and adaptation in Texas, a vital economic and ecologically important region in the US. Texas spans twelve distinct ecoregions and a GDP greater than that of many countries, however, it is the only large state in the US that does not have an active climate action or adaptation plan. This book analyzes the ways in which every aspect of life in Texas could be affected by climate change and the severe risks posed to the future well-being of Texans. It discusses the effects of climate change on the natural environment, human-environmental systems, and a diversity of approaches used for climate adaptation and mitigation, whether intentional or not. Finally, this book provides a different perspective for both the climate enthusiastic and the climate agnostic.FeaturesOffers a contemporary perspective on the changing climate in Texas and why it matters - specially with respect to impacts, points of vulnerability, and adaptation.Includes contributions from the state climatologist and disciplinary experts who have a solid understanding of the ecological, social, economic, and policy issues for Texas.Provides a perspective on the political and economic motivations of climate mitigation in Texas, or lack thereof.Discusses the multi-faceted and interconnected nature of impacts and links projected impacts to adaptation and mitigation needs.Extends the discussion of climate change to relate to the broader science of planetary limitations.This book serves as a foundational resource for graduate students, industry professionals, government officials, environmental practitioners, researchers, and academics dealing with climate change everywhere, not just in Texas, and gives readers a sense of urgency for changes that need to be made.

The conservation of biodiversity and natural resources is ultimately and unavoidably about managing conflict. Tensions arise from access to land, competition for resources, and human decision-making, which in turn are amplified by conflicts over managing wildlife, protected areas, sustainable use, and struggles over inequalities, divisions, livelihoods, poverty, development, and human rights. Essentially, conservation cannot achieve its goals without effectively helping address these conflicts. Most biodiversity conservation professionals are trained in the natural sciences; biodiversity conservation, however, has become increasingly interdisciplinary. This textbook is a comprehensive guide to understanding and managing conflicts in conservation and explores the intersection of negotiation, conflict resolution, and biodiversity conservation by providing a practical framework for understanding and addressing such conflicts. In this book, the authors show how conflict resolution is both an art and a science. They explain the unavoidably messy, human nature of conflicts while providing a structured way of moving forward. The book introduces key conflict resolution principles, such as the importance of dignity, respect, and willingness, and provides a structured approach to understanding and analysing conflicts. Written in an accessible, non-technical style, Negotiating Coexistence: The art and science of resolving conflicts in conservation, is an essential resource for anyone working in biodiversity conservation and related fields. By bridging expertise in negotiation and conflict resolution with the realities of conservation work, this book serves as a vital resource for practitioners, professionals, researchers, and students alike.

ISBN 978-1-041-04043-9 hard ¥55,385.- (税込) GB￡ 190.00

Faced with the global crisis of human caused environmental harm, this eloquently written text explores the connection between our individual virtues and vices and those of larger groups, such as societies, nations and businesses. It demonstrates how this huge collective crisis is our moral problem as individuals, and what we can do about it, together.The book sheds light on the notion of collective character and investigates the relationship between the way we are individually and the way we are together. Drawing on research from the social sciences, it demonstrates a close correlation between our individual and collective character, highlighting the scope of our influence on others, and suggests socially possible pathways toward a fair way of life in harmony with nature and community. To implement this, Clowney argues that we must change the current extractive and wasteful methods of business, economic growth, consumption, and capitalism. Initial chapters delve into our connection to those systems and consider how these can be transformed over time, followed by seven stories exemplifying the changes required, and chapters on several environmental virtues in their individual and collective form. The book concludes with a meditation on the virtues of faith, hope, and love, which the author puts forward as ground in many traditions, and necessary to sustain the work of environmental change.Environmental Ethics and our Collective Character will be an important discussion text for students, academics, and instructors in the field of environmental virtue ethics, virtue ethics more broadly, business ethics, political and social philosophy, and environmental and policy studies.

Soviet Climate Change Science explores the character and range of Soviet contributions to the emerging understanding of large-scale anthropogenic climate change during the post-1945 period. More specifically, it examines the role of Soviet scientists in helping to shape the debate, both domestically and on the international stage, and with a particular focus on the period 1960s-1980s.The book details the institutional underpinnings of Soviet activity in this area, the main scientific debates evident within key centres of climate-related science, and the activities of Soviet scientists with respect to a range of international collaborations such as the 1972 US-USSR Agreement on Cooperation in the Field of Environmental Protection, the early work of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and the Greenhouse Glasnost initiative which included the world's first teleconference on climate change. It concludes with a reflection on the extent to which Soviet scientific legacies continued to shape Russian approaches to climate change post-1991.This book will be of interest to those working on the historical and socio-cultural aspects of climate change, providing the first detailed assessment of Soviet involvement in this critical area of scientific activity.

This groundbreaking collection explores the complex intersections of communication and climate change in Africa.From legacy media's framing of climate narratives to the mobilising potential of digital media, the volume examines the multi-faceted ways in which climate change is mediated through different communication channels and how different media can be harnessed to amplify African voices on climate change. Drawing on a broad range of theoretical and methodological approaches, case studies cover all regions of the continent, providing a nuanced examination of how the media shape our understanding of and responses to climate change in Africa. Contributions scrutinise different facets of climate change communication, providing illuminating accounts on pitfalls in climate change communication, climate justice communication strategies, social media activism and climate change, and datafication of climate change. This is the first collection to comprehensively address climate change communication across the continent, featuring perspectives from all regions in Africa.An essential contribution to the global conversation on climate change communication, the collection will appeal to researchers, academics, policymakers, communication activists, and students at all levels in the fields of environmental communication, media studies, journalism, as well as general readers keen to understand the complex dynamics of climate change in Africa.

Jones, Michael B., Papyrus and Wetlands Management in Africa: Past, Present and Future Challenges. (Earthscan Studies in Water Resource Management) 220 pp. 2025:12 (Routledge, UK) <755-842>

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the influence that the papyrus plant has had on African wetlands, with a particular focus on the Nile, in the past and how this may change with the oncoming threats of climate change.The papyrus plant is one of the fastest growing in the world and it forms the dominant vegetation in almost all sub-Saharan wetlands, and particularly the Nile Basin wetlands. Unlike other books on rivers and wetlands, this book focuses on this dominant and defining plant which plays such an important role in determining the structure and functioning of the Nile and other African wetland systems. It examines papyrus in the past, in the present and in the future, asking where and when did it evolve, what features have made it so widespread, productive and useful to humans, and how it has influenced the ecology of African wetlands. With over two hundred and fifty million people relying on the water of the Nile to survive, the book examines the intimate relationship between, papyrus, people and the river. It concludes by discussing the current challenges to the sustainability of that relationship and whether this relationship can withstand the threat of changing climate and human demands as populations increase.This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of wetland management, ecosystem services, water resource management, biogeography, sustainable development and African studies

This book critically reflects on dominant landscape techniques, discusses landscapes that are marginalised through globalising market forces, and focuses on the collective nature of landscapes-from planetary climates to intimate private spaces. Whether in views from above or the mirror and mirage that landscapes can create, landscape practices too often foreground hegemony and embolden individuals with power, while simultaneously concealing the actions from which they are produced. Chapters show how landscapes are only possible through the collective contribution of humans and non-humans, interacting, sharing between, providing for, and making with. Collective Landscape Futures investigates the common, shared, and public endeavours that produce landscapes. Chapters address varied concerns across diverse geographies, from wilding practices to extractive landscapes and from decolonizing approaches to tools for co-creation. This volume will appeal to scholars and activists working in environmental humanities, landscape studies, and landscape architecture, and the many disciplines which converge around these topics, including design, geography, anthropology, philosophy, and politics.

Burke, Danita Catherine, Greenpeace in the Circumpolar North: Lessons Learned from the Anti-Sealing Era. (Routledge Explorations in Environmental Studies) 144 pp. 2025:11 (Routledge, UK) <755-877>

Exploring Greenpeace's effort to expand its engagement in the Circumpolar North in the 21st century, this book examines how this work is affected and informed by the organisation's controversial legacy of anti-sealing campaigning in the 1970s and 1980s.Presenting the fallout for peoples and cultures targeted by Greenpeace's anti-sealing campaigning as a pivotal dimension to the organisation's history, the book argues that this must first be acknowledged in order to understand how Greenpeace has developed more positive working relationships with northern Indigenous peoples in recent years. The book looks to dispel the misconception that Greenpeace is universally rejected in the Circumpolar North, whilst also highlighting that its engagement and alliances are being built in the shadow of Greenpeace's yet-to-be fully tackled history as a leading part of the anti-sealing movement. Greenpeace in the Circumpolar North is ideal for courses and research with a focus on Arctic studies, environmental activism and Indigenous studies, and for those interested in learning more about the complex legacy of Greenpeace.

The Routledge Handbook of Eco-Phenomenology is a comprehensive exploration of how we, as humans, interact with and perceive the natural world. Spanning seven thematic sections, this wide-ranging collection gathers contributions from leading scholars in philosophy, theology, anthropology, literature, music studies, and environmental thought. Together, over thirty chapters offer fresh perspectives on how we inhabit a more-than-human world.At the heart of this volume is the dynamic intersection of phenomenology-a philosophical tradition attentive to embodied experience-and environmental ethics, inviting readers to rethink assumptions about activism, passivity, and ecological responsibility. Rather than advancing a unified doctrine, the chapters explore eco-phenomenology as a field of ongoing tension and dialogue, attentive to receptivity, perception, and the ethical demands of a world that exceeds us.Key themes include re-evaluations of human embodiment in relation to nature, the role of perception in understanding our ecological entanglements, and cultural attitudes that challenge human exceptionalism. Literary explorations and reflections on music deepen the inquiry, showing how the arts open distinct pathways of attunement to the environment. The volume culminates in critical dialogues between eco-phenomenology and other intellectual traditions, including posthumanism, Indigenous cosmologies, and enactivism.More than an academic survey, this handbook is an invitation to rethink environmental engagement as a mode of being rooted in care, vulnerability, and attentiveness to the Earth as our shared home. It is essential reading for scholars, researchers, and students in philosophy, environmental studies, anthropology, literature, and the arts.

A crucial intervention at the intersection of ecotheology and trauma theology We are in the midst of a global ecological crisis. At times, the scale of the suffering involved can be hard to fully comprehend. The whole planetary ecosystem feels out of kilter. Meanwhile, trauma theorists, and society at large, have become increasingly aware of the incidence of trauma in a growing variety of contexts. In Witnessing a Wounded World, Timothy Middleton asks what might be gained by viewing ecological suffering through the lens of trauma. By bringing concepts and methodologies from trauma theology to bear on questions that arise within ecotheology, Middleton engages a series of pressing questions. What kind of traumas are being precipitated by anthropogenic climate change and accelerating biodiversity loss? What would it mean to envisage the Earth itself as traumatized? And how might a Christian theologian respond? From large-scale deforestation and opencast mining to rampaging wildfires and fracturing ice sheets, the Earth itself is subject to intense devastation. Witnessing a Wounded World analyzes such phenomena in terms of three traumatic ruptures-to communication, to flesh, and to time. Drawing on practices of witnessing and the insights of deep incarnation Christologies, Middleton proceeds to offer a theological account of this ecological trauma. For Christians, a model of Christic witnessing can bring the Earth's suffering to light. As the first sustained treatment of ecological trauma to address the trauma of the Earth itself, Witnessing a Wounded World makes a profound contribution to discussions of suffering, faith, and the present ecological emergency.

Ethics Across Borders assembles perspectives from geographers, historians, theologians, philosophers, and scientists to explore ethically-relevant connections across multiple types of borders.The contemporary global order is fluid, increasingly unstable, and riven with borders at countless and complex points. Religious, political, and ecological borders hold particular significance, where interactions carry compounding social and environmental consequences. As the first collected volume to look at these three types of borders, both from an interdisciplinary perspective and as distinct forms, it demonstrates the value of thinking across borders as an ethical project. Taking Simone Weil's perspective that every separation is a link, it posits that separations within sovereignty, species, and religion become links between political, ecological, and theological perspectives, and that boundaries within human life have taken on ecological significance in the age of the Anthropocene. In this framing, religion interacts with the political and the ecological in three ways: as foundational to sovereignty, as an influence on perspectives on contemporary boundaries, and as morally and philosophically implicated in the human/nonhuman interactions that ground environmental ethics.Ethics Across Borders offers lessons on how to reimagine borders and how to engage more justly with ecological systems and human communities. It will appeal to readers in environmental and religious ethics, philosophy, and border studies.
