Sunken Cities explores the fascinating world of submerged settlements, blending history, mythology, and archaeological discoveries to uncover civilizations lost to the sea. The book examines the geological and environmental factors that caused these cities to sink, as well as the cultural impact and enduring myths they’ve inspired. Readers will discover how marine archaeology and insights from environmental science are used to study these underwater sites.

 
The book progresses geographically, starting with the Mediterranean, including the legendary Atlantis and the submerged city of Pavlopetri in Greece, one of the oldest underwater cities. It then moves to Asia, exploring cities like Dwarka in India, lost to rising sea levels and tsunamis.

    The Caral-Supe civilization, considered the first known civilization in the Americas, emerged around 5,000 years ago in the arid coastal region of present-day Peru. Often referred to as the "mother civilization" of the Andes, Caral-Supe predates other significant Andean cultures such as the Inca by millennia. Its capital city, Caral, located in the Supe Valley, is regarded as one of the oldest urban centers in the world. The discovery of this civilization has drastically reshaped our understanding of early American societies, highlighting the complexity and sophistication of pre-Columbian cultures in the Americas. 
    The story of Caral-Supe began with its discovery in the early 1990s, when archaeologist Ruth Shady and her team identified the ancient city of Caral, which had been largely overlooked until then. The site’s impressive architectural features and its well-planned urban layout revealed that the civilization had a deep understanding of engineering, agriculture, and social organization. Caral-Supe flourished for more than a thousand years, from roughly 3000 BCE to 1800 BCE, and was a major center of culture, trade, and religion in the region. 
    Geographically, the Caral-Supe civilization developed in the Supe Valley, a narrow strip of land located between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes Mountains. This region, although dry and arid, was strategically positioned to foster trade and communication with other cultures. The valley provided fertile land for agriculture, supported by sophisticated irrigation systems, which allowed the Caral-Supe civilization to thrive in such an inhospitable environment. This innovative agricultural system was a key factor in their ability to sustain large urban populations and build monumental structures.

    Gardening at the Margins tells the remarkable story of a diverse group of neighbors working together to grow food and community in the Santa Clara Valley in California. Based on four years of deeply engaged ethnographic field research via a Participatory Action Research project with the people and ecosystems of La Mesa Verde home garden program, Gabriel R. Valle develops a theory of convivial labor to describe how the acts of care among the diverse gardeners—through growing, preparing, and eating food in one of the most income unequal places in the country—are powerful, complex acts of resistance. 
     
     
     
    The individuals featured in the book are imagining and building alternative worlds and futures amid the very real challenges they embody and endure. Climate change, for example, is forcing thousands of migrants to urban areas, which means recent immigrants' traditional environmental, nutritional, and healing knowledge will continue to be threatened by the pervasiveness of modernity and the homogenization of global capitalism. Moreover, once rural people migrate to urban areas, their ability to retain traditional foodways will remain difficult without spaces of autonomy. The stories in this book reveal how people create the physical space to grow food and the political space to enact autonomy to revive and restore agroecological knowledge needed for an uncertain future.
