“This is a fantastic collection. Threaded throughout is the argument that, to perceive and do justice to climate and environmental catastrophe, we need to undo the normative binary of life and non-life. Hybridizing Indigenous and folkloric forms of knowledge with contemporary arts, science, and sustainability aspirations, the essays are haunting, inspiring, insightful, evocative, poetic, tragic, fierce, and grief stricken.” - Samantha Frost, author of Biocultural Creatures: Toward a New Theory of the Human



“This quite brilliant book thinks anthropologically and ethnographically across the life/nonlife boundary to surface relations and politics among humans and nonhumans. The editors urge us not only to enfranchise non-human in our analyses of the bios, but also to extend our anthropological attentions to the agencies of the other-than-or-more-than-organic” - Stefan Helmreich, author of A Book of Waves
