Synopsis

"Rewilding Home Spaces" explores how homeowners can actively contribute to ecological restoration and boost biodiversity right in their own yards. It argues that even small actions, like planting native species, can collectively make a big difference in fragmented urban and suburban environments. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding ecological succession, the natural process of change in plant and animal communities, as a key to guiding rewilding efforts. It highlights the stark contrast between ecologically sterile ornamental plants and native species vital for supporting local wildlife, providing a practical guide to transforming residential areas into thriving ecosystems.

 
The book progresses systematically, beginning with core ecological principles and defining rewilding in a residential context. It then explores the ecological benefits of native plants for pollinators and birds, offers strategies for creating wildlife habitats like pollinator gardens, and focuses on minimizing harmful landscaping practices such as pesticide use. By presenting scientific data, case studies, and actionable recommendations, "Rewilding Home Spaces" empowers readers to enhance ecosystem health, promoting a holistic approach to creating vibrant and resilient communities.

The Abyss Stares Back -...

Stacy Alaimo

As we see the catastrophic effects of the Anthropocene proliferate, advanced technologies also grant us greater access to the furthest reaches of the world's oceans, facilitating the discovery of countless new species. Stacy Alaimo explores the influence this newfound intimacy with the deep sea might have on our broader relationship to the nonhuman world. While many images of these abyssal creatures circulate as shallow clickbait, aesthetic representations can be enticing lures for speculating about their lives. 
 
The Abyss Stares Back analyzes a diverse range of scientific, literary, and artistic accounts of deep-sea exploration. As she focuses on oft-overlooked creatures of the deep, Alaimo shows how depictions of the deep seas have been enmeshed in long colonial histories and racist constructions of a threatening abyss. 
 
Drawing on feminist environmentalism, posthumanism, science and technology studies, and Indigenous and non-Western perspectives, Alaimo details how our understanding of science is fundamentally altered by aesthetic encounters with these otherworldly life forms. She argues that, although the deep sea is often thought of as a lifeless void, our increasing devastation of this realm underscores our ethical obligation to protect the biodiverse life in the depths. When the abyss stares back, it demands recognition.
