this Holiday Season! For readers of Braiding Sweetgrass and The
Overstory From The Center for Humans and Nature, a collection in
five volumes: essays, interviews, poetry, and stories of solidarity
that highlight the interdependence that exists between humans and
nonhuman beings We live in an astounding world of relations. We
share these ties that bind with our fellow humans-and we share
these relations with nonhuman beings as well. From the bacterium
swimming in your belly to the trees exhaling the breath you
breathe, this community of life is our kin-and, for many cultures
around the world, being human is based upon this extended sense of
kinship. Kinship: Belonging in a World of Relations is a lively
series that explores our deep interconnections with the living
world. More than 70 contributors-including Robin Wall Kimmerer,
Richard Powers, David Abram, J. Drew Lanham, and Sharon
Blackie-invite readers into cosmologies, narratives, and everyday
interactions that embrace a more-than-human world as worthy of our
response and responsibility. These diverse voices render a wide
range of possibilities for becoming better kin. Contents: Planet:
What are the sources of our deepest evolutionary and planetary
connections, and of our profound longing for kinship? Place: To
what extent does crafting a deeper connection with the Earth's
bioregions reinvigorate a sense of kinship with the place-based
beings, systems, and communities that mutually shape one another?
Partners: How do relations between and among different species
foster a sense of responsibility and belonging in us? Persons:
Which experiences expand our understanding of being human in
relation to other-than-human beings? Practice: What are the
practical, everyday, and lifelong ways we become kin? From the
recognition of nonhumans as persons to the care of our kinfolk
through language and action, Kinship: Belonging in a World of
Relations is a guide and companion into the ways we can deepen our
care and respect for the family of plants, rivers, mountains,
animals, and others who live with us in this exuberant,
life-generating, planetary tangle of relations. Proceeds from sales
of Kinship benefit the nonprofit, non-partisan Center for Humans
and Nature, which partners with some of the brightest minds to
explore human responsibilities to each other and the
more-than-human world. The Center brings together philosophers,
ecologists, artists, political scientists, anthropologists, poets
and economists, among others, to think creatively about a resilient
future for the whole community of life.
