Staying Together: Natureculture in a Changing World is a classic anthology of ecocritical essays addressing the urgent need for recognizing the crucial importance of the symbiotic interconnections of the multiple species on the earth, particularly at a critical juncture of the earth’s history when the reckless anthropogenic activities make global ecologies fragile, volatile, and precarious, threatening biodiversity and the planetary well being. Eclectic, insightful, and compelling, the essays in this volume, by scholars and activists across the globe, offer an exciting array of new conceptual approaches to the analysis of literary texts, visual images, and environmental artworks, suggesting the ever-expanding reach of ecocriticism and environmental humanities.
