Visceral sensations, she finds, are vital to this process, which yields a new animism in which humans and "the environment" become thoroughly entangled. In case studies on food, water, energy, and climate from the United States, India, and Japan, Weston approaches the new animism as both a symptom of our times and an analytic with the potential to open paths to new and forgotten ways of living.ANIMA (Duke University Press)Human ecologyHuman geographyClimatic changesEffect of human beings onHuman ecology.Human geography.Climatic changesEffect of human beings on.304.2/8AR 23100BVBrvkWeston Kath1958-1201463NDDNDDBOOK9910157806703321Animate planet2858413UNINA
