Sommario/riassunto

What is the proper relationship between human beings and the more-than-human world? This philosophical question, which underlies vast environmental crises, forces us to investigate the tension between our extraordinary powers, which seem to set us apart from nature, even above it, and our thoroughgoing ordinariness, as revealed by the evolutionary history we share with all life. The contributors to this volume ask us to consider whether the anxiety of unheimlichkeit, which



in one form or another absorbed so much of 20th century philosophy, might reveal not our homelessness in the cosmos but a need for a fundamental belongingness and emplacement in it.

Sommario/riassunto

Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Field Trip Guidebooks Series, Volume 176.  This guide for the 28th International Geological Congress field trip to the modern coral reefs and sediments of southeast Florida and the Dry Tortugas is focused toward explaining (1) the distribution of Holocene coral reefs, (2) the relation between topography and Holocene sea-level rise, and (3) the compositional and thickness variations of sediments produced in and adjacent to the reefs. This excursion will visit and examine representative reefs and sediments throughout the area and will relate differences to environmental conditions.  The excursion begins at Miami and makes numerous swimming stops to examine reef-building processes and sediment distribution en route to the Dry Tortugas. Because this is a boat trip, there is no rigid stop-by-stop plan with measured distances, as is common in guidebooks for land-based excursions. This guide provides geologic and biologic background and discussion relating to reef distribution throughout the field trip area. Day-by-day trip plans will be provided on the first day. A coral identification key and



historical information are included in Appendices A-C. Under ideal weather conditions, all the sites listed can be visited in the order presented.
