"A delightful new contribution to the growing debate on urban political ecology (UPE), especially as it is interested in environmental justice concerns, and at the same time a definitive portrait of a region that has long looked coherent to its residents for ecological, historical, geographical, cultural, and political reasons, but has now gained a clear profile beyond the region itself...Janos and McKendry’s book ultimately presents Cascadia as a—materially humid, watery, and rainy—source of powerful concepts and ideas that have already been formative and will be generative in UPE conversations in years to come."
