  The time has come to reimagine our relationship to the environment before it is too late.As wildfires char the American West, extreme weather transforms landscapes, glaciers retreat, and climate zones shift, we are undeniably experiencing the effects of the climate crisis in more and more destructive ways. Climate change is impacting every inhabited region of the world, but there is much we can still do.Unsettling explores human impacts on the environment through science, popular culture, personal narrative, and landscape. Using the stories of animals, landscapes, and people who have exhibited resilience in the face of persistent colonization across the North American continent, science writer Elizabeth Weinberg explores how climate change is a direct result of white supremacy, colonialism, sexism, and heteronormativity. Travel through the deep sea; along Louisiana’s vanishing bayous; down the Colorado, Mississippi, and Potomac rivers; and over the Cascade Mountains, and examine how we as humans, particularly white humans, have drawn a stark line between human and animal, culture and nature, in order to exploit anything and anyone we find useful. With gorgeous and pointed prose, Weinberg weaves together science, personal essay, history, and pop culture to propose a new way of thinking about climate change—one that is rooted in queerness and antiracism.

  'A book that will persist through many generations, and rightly so' SEÁN RONAYNE
  'Holds a kaleidoscope of astonishments' DOIREANN NÍ GHRÍOFA
  'His descriptive powers, passion and raw honesty will immerse, astonish and transport you to hidden places you never even knew existed' EOGHAN DALTUN
  'An eye-opening sharing of perspective by a gifted writer, weaving together ecology, history, folklore and personal insight' ANJA MURRAY
  In January 1979 when Eoin Warner was just two years old, an oil tanker exploded in Bantry Bay, killing his father and leaving an enduring loss at the heart of his childhood. In the years that followed, he found solace beyond the garden fence, wandering the fields and hedgerows of West Cork, where nature became his teacher, refuge and guide.
  In this beautifully written nature memoir, Warner weaves memory with the wild, recalling encounters with birds, animals and landscapes that offered comfort, enchantment and meaning. From moonlit shores to dew-soaked meadows, each moment reveals how deeply our lives are intertwined with the natural world.
  This is not simply a story of loss, but of discovery, wonder and belonging. Rooted in Irish place and language, it invites us to slow down, look closer, and rediscover the quiet magic that surrounds us in nature and the healing it can bring.
