Before the idea of the Anthropocene, there was the angry planet   How might we understand an earthquake as a complaint, or erosion as a form of protest—in short, the Earth as an angry planet? Many novels from the end of the millennium did just that, centering around an Earth that acts, moves, shapes human affairs, and creates dramatic, nonanthropogenic change. In Angry Planet, Anne Stewart uses this literature to develop a theoretical framework for reading with and through planetary motion. Typified by authors like Colson Whitehead, Octavia Butler, and Leslie Marmon Silko, whose work anticipates contemporary critical concepts of entanglement, withdrawal, delinking, and resurgence, angry planet fiction coalesced in the 1990s and delineated the contours of a decolonial ontology. Stewart shows how this fiction brought Black and Indigenous thought into conversation, offering a fresh account of globalization in the 1990s from the perspective of the American Third World, construing it as the era that first made connections among environmental crises and antiracist and decolonial struggles. By synthesizing these major intersections of thought production in the final decades of the twentieth century, Stewart offers a recent history of dissent to the young movements of the twenty-first century. As she reveals, this knowledge is crucial to incipient struggles of our contemporary era, as our political imaginaries grapple with the major challenges of white nationalism and climate change denial.

(Princess) Diana Spencer contacted British healer and psychic Anne Stewart in July 2011 and began a series of channellings that, to use her own words 'will change the world.' The Diana message is unsurprisingly one of Love. 'It isn't just about loving each other and changing the world; it is loving everything to change the world.' In this book, through nineteen channellings from January 2012 to July 2013, read Diana's very simple, workable and profound recipe for humanity to 're-claim our birth right and birth place.' * Heal your mind and body using an ancient healing symbol. * De-toxify your food and water. * Wake up to the truth of what's going on in the world. * Let go of a lifetime of negative, restrictive conditioning. * Improve your breathing; balance your body's energy system. * Realise the power of prayer, blessing and gratitude. * Send the 'love vibration' out to everyone and 'take the planet to another dimension.' Diana chose Anne Stewart because 'I had been with her in other times', for her 'purity of heart' and because 'people trust her.' This is a book by Diana, not about Diana. Anne and author husband Jack run Diana Divine Healing workshops wherever the call takes them. Diana has already promised a sequel.
