The volume opens up important philosophical questions about our place in, and obligations to, a more-than-human world. Drawing on fieldwork, philosophy, literature, history, and a range of other perspectives, each of the chapters in this book tells a unique extinction story that explores what extinction is, what it means, why it matters—and to whom.

We need such stories to make us feel and think with the unraveling of a world we inherit and share together with innumerable entangled forms and ways of life. We need them also to repopulate our devastated imaginations and to help us escape the twin easy temptations of nihilist despair and blind confidence." - <b>Isabelle Stengers</b>, author of<i> Cosmopolitics</i> <br><br>"Human-caused extinction challenges our own survival—but also our compassion and our ability to tell stories adequate to shifting configurations of 'us' and 'them.' This volume gathers seven fine storytellers who show us what it means to lose or save another animal species in an era of rapid extinctions. These are tales of passion, time, conflict, learning, slaughter, imprisonment, and prayer. Drawing upon their common membership in an interdisciplinary and international working group on extinction studies, the authors show the potential of the environmental humanities to address one of the major crises of our moment in history." - <b>Anna Tsing</b>, author of <i>Friction</i></p></div><div style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><br></div></div></div><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">Dr Matthew Chrulew<br>ARC DECRA Research Fellow, Centre for Culture and Technology, Curtin University<br>Associate Editor, <a style="color:rgb(17,85,204);font-size:small" href="http://environmentalhumanities.dukejournals.org/" target="_blank"><i>Environmental Humanities </i></a><a style="color:rgb(17,85,204);font-size:small" href="http://environmentalhumanities.dukejournals.org/" target="_blank">(Duke)</a><i style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:small"></i><br style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:small"><div style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:small" dir="ltr"><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:12.8px">@negentropist</span><br></div><div style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:small" dir="ltr"><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:12.8px"><br></span></div><div style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:small"><i><a style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" href="https://cup.columbia.edu/book/extinction-studies/9780231178815" target="_blank">Extinction Studies: Stories of Time, Death, and Generations </a></i><a style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" href="https://cup.columbia.edu/book/extinction-studies/9780231178815" target="_blank">(Columbia UP, 2017)</a></div></div><div dir="ltr"><i style="font-size:12.8px"><a href="http://www.brill.com/products/book/foucault-and-animals" target="_blank">Foucault and Animals </a></i><a style="font-size:12.8px" href="http://www.brill.com/products/book/foucault-and-animals" target="_blank">(Brill, 2016)</a><br></div><div><a href="https://cosmosmagazine.com/the-future/mamontogists-tale" target="_blank">"The Mamontogist's Tale," <i>Cosmos Online </i>28 Dec 2015</a><br></div><div dir="ltr"><div><span><a href="http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/cang20/19/3" target="_blank"><i>Angelaki</i> 19:3, "Philosophical Ethology I: Dominique Lestel"</a><a href="http://sub.uwpress.org/content/43/2.toc" target="_blank"><br></a></span></div><div><a href="http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/cang20/20/2" target="_blank"><i>Angelaki </i>20:2, "Philosophical Ethology II: Vinciane Despret"</a><br></div><div><a href="http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/cang20/21/1/" target="_blank"><i>Angelaki </i>21:1, "Philosophical Ethology III: Roberto Marchesini"</a></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
