for that special someone.
In this experimental work of ecocriticism, Vincent Bruyere
confronts the seeming pointlessness of the humanities amid
spectacularly negative future projections of environmental
collapse. The vanitas paintings of the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries dazzlingly depict heaps of riches alongside skulls,
shells, and hourglasses. Sometimes even featuring the illusion that
their canvases are peeling away, vanitas images openly declare
their own pointlessness in relation to the future. This book takes
inspiration from the vanitas tradition to fearlessly contemplate
the stakes of the humanities in the Anthropocene present, when the
accumulated human record could well outlast the climate conditions
for our survival. Staging a series of unsettling encounters with
early modern texts and images whose claims of relevance have long
since expired, Bruyere experiments with the interpretive
affordances of allegory and fairytale, still life and travelogues.
Each chapter places a vanitas motif—canvas, debris, toxics,
paper, ark, meat, and light—in conversation with stories and
images of the Anthropocene, from the Pleistocene Park
geoengineering project to toxic legacies to in-vitro meat.
Considering questions of quiet erasure and environmental memory,
this book argues we ought to keep reading, even by the flickering
light of extinction.

This volume in "The SAGE Reference Series on Disability "explores
issues facing people with disabilities in employment and the work
environment. It is one of eight volumes in the cross-disciplinary
and issues-based series, which incorporates links from varied
fields making up Disability Studies as volumes examine topics
central to the lives of individuals with disabilities and their
families. With a balance of history, theory, research, and
application, specialists set out the findings and implications of
research and practice for others whose current or future work
involves the care and/or study of those with disabilities, as well
as for the disabled themselves. The presentational style (concise
and engaging) emphasizes accessibility. Taken individually, each
volume sets out the fundamentals of the topic it addresses,
accompanied by compiled data and statistics, recommended further
readings, a guide to organizations and associations, and other
annotated resources, thus providing the ideal introductory platform
and gateway for further study. Taken together, the series
represents both a survey of major disability issues and a guide to
new directions and trends and contemporary resources in the field
as a whole.
