Review Quotes: [A]ll [the volume's contributors] offer substantive and provocative viewpoints. . . . [T]his well-curated volume should inspire further work on the role of cultural production in the age of the anthropocene. The book's interdisciplinary approach certainly makes it important reading for graduate students and scholars across the humanities and social sciences.-- "MONATSHEFTE"
