I have been reading Timothy Morton's books for a while and I like them a lot. - Bjork By suggesting imaginative ways to resolve other crises, could humanities scholars stave off the crisis engulfing their own subjects? Morton proposes a future in which the venerable ideas of nature and environment are so much detritus, useless for addressing a looming ecological catastrophe. His book exemplifies the serious humanities scholarship he makes a plea for. My head's still spinning. -Noel Castree, Times Higher Education (Praise for The Ecological Thought) Timothy Morton brings to bear his deep knowledge of a wide array of subjects to propose a new way of looking at our situation, which might allow us to take action toward the future health of the biosphere. Crucially, the relations between Buddhism and science, nature and culture, are examined in the fusion of a single vision. The result is a great work of cognitive mapping, both exciting and useful. (Praise for Hyperobjects) - Kim Stanley Robinson, author Aurora and the Mars trilogy
