The environmental crisis is, in many ways, a crisis of time. From
the distress cries of birds that no longer know when to migrate, to
the rapid dying of coral reefs, to the quickening pace of extreme
weather events, the patterns and timekeeping of the natural world
are falling apart. We have broken nature's clocks. Lying hidden at
the root of this problem are the cultural narratives that shape our
actions and horizons of thought, but as Paul Huebener shows, we can
bring about change by developing a critical literacy of time.
Moving from circadian rhythms and the revival of ancient frozen
bacteria to camping advertisements and the politics of oil
pipelines, Nature's Broken Clocks turns to works of fiction and
poetry, examining how cultural narratives of time are connected to
the problems of ecological collapse and what we might do to fix
them. "Urgent and profound, Nature's Broken Clocks is essential
reading for anyone interested in time and the environment."
-Nicholas Bradley, author of Rain Shadow " Nature's Broken Clocks
will inspire readers to reflect deeply on our manipulations of
time, and on the impact of our shifting temporal imaginations and
practices on the ecosphere." -Sarah Wylie Krotz, Assistant
Professor, Department of English and Film Studies, University of
Alberta
