The Forests of the World

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This comprehensive study of the sylvan realm in speculative fiction focuses on the conceptualization of a sylvan and arboreal agency and the interrelationship between the human and the forest. The author argues for a re-negotiation of material agency and a facilitation of an eco-sylvan awareness within the Anthropocene.
