Living on a damaged planet challenges who we are and where we live. This timely anthology calls on twenty eminent humanists and scientists to revitalize curiosity, observation, and transdisciplinary conversation about life on earth.

As human-induced environmental change threatens multispecies livability, Arts of Living on a Damaged Planet puts forward a bold proposal entangled histories, situated narratives, and thick descriptions offer urgent “arts of living.” Included are essays by scholars in anthropology, ecology, science studies, art, literature, and bioinformatics who posit critical and creative tools for collaborative survival in a more-than-human Anthropocene. The essays are organized around two key figures that also serve as the publication’s two openings Ghosts, or landscapes haunted by the violences of modernity; and Monsters, or interspecies and intraspecies sociality. Ghosts and Monsters are tentacular, windy, and arboreal arts that invite readers to encounter ants, lichen, rocks, electrons, flying foxes, salmon, chestnut trees, mud volcanoes, border zones, graves, radioactive waste—in short, the wonders and terrors of an unintended epoch.

"This was recommended by one of the contributors. The book is mind opening in many directions, not just our impact and the time we are in (the anthropocene), but how we got to now."

• The thinkers that contribute to this edited volume are vital and groundbreaking champions of life on earth.
• Life is changing. Reading others' "noticing" is inspiring. We are not autonomous. In how many ways we are not autonomous, is why I will refer back to this book.
• This was recommended by one of the contributors. The book is mind opening in many directions, not just our impact and the time we are in (the anthropocene), but how we got to now.
• The research is inspiring.
