PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Cheryll Glotfelty, the nation's first professor of Literature and Environment, enjoyed a twenty-eight-year career at the University of Nevada, Reno, before retiring in 2018. Her coedited The Ecocriticism Reader: Landmarks in Literary Ecology is a progenitive work in the environmental humanities. Her two coedited volumes, The Bioregional Imagination: Literature, Ecology, and Place and The Biosphere and the Bioregion: Essential Writings of Peter Berg, explore bioregional approaches to harmonizing culture with nature. Glotfelty's literary criticism and reviews have appeared in ISLE: Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment, Women's Studies, ATQ, Southwestern American Literature, Western American Literature, Literature and Belief, and edited collections. Her art criticism has appeared in Material Ecocriticism and Environmental Criticism for the Twenty-First Century. She is a cofounder, past president, and honorary lifetime member of the Association for the Study of Literature and Environment.
One of the icons of environmental criticism, Cheryll Glotfelty, engages in a conversation with a world-class photographer, Peter Goin. Together they give voice to the invisible density of radiation, the uncanny agency of climate and waste, the beauty of resisting places. A compelling journey across disciplines and artistic languages, Peter Goin and the Photography of Environmental Change enables its readers to access the stories that weave the 'humanatural' fabric of landscapes. This book provides a masterclass in visual studies and ecological humanities. Serenella Iovino, Professor of Environmental Humanities, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA Of all the arts, photography has been the consistent guiding light during the past 150 years in helping us understand not only the larger American landscape but also the everyday places where we live, work, and play. And no photographer has done more to advance a new awareness of our contemporary landscapes than Peter Goin, who always seems to anticipate future directions of the art form. This new book thankfully confirms Goin's artistic efforts and the tremendous contributions he has made during his stellar career. George F. Thompson, Founder and Director of the Center for the Study of Place Peter Goin and the Photography of Environmental Change is a powerful conversation between the beauty and mystery of our altered world, and an exciting way of reinventing our way of seeing and feeling Nature to pursue a better world. It is the most compelling book yet written about visual literacy. Maria Antonia Blanco Arroyo, Professor of Art, University of Seville, Spain
