'I was called to flying-foxes. My research questions led me into
multispecies ethnographic work involving wildlife carers and
academically trained scientists in eastern Australia. The people I
met were at the front line in the work of holding flying-foxes back
from the edge of extinction. I continued to visit the north, and I
revisited my notebooks from several decades of research with
Aboriginal people. The research was exhilarating, and then again at
times deeply disheartening. I was to encounter more passion,
intimacy, cruelty, horror, complexity, generosity and wild beauty
than I could ever have imagined. Living with flying-foxes, I came
to understand, takes us straight to the heart of every big question
facing Earth life in the 21st century.' In this deeply personal
book, the last one she wrote before hear death in 2018, Deborah
Bird Rose explores the shimmer of life - the iridescent pulse of
beauty and power, the processes of transition and transformation -
that flows across and between generations. Grounded within this
insight, she develops and advocates for an ethics of attention that
is in the world within everyday practices, and in this case for and
with flying foxes and their worlds.
