Weird Wonder in Merleau-Ponty, Object-Oriented Ontology, and New Materialism
by Brian Hisao OnishiThis book connects recent developments in speculative realism, new materialism, and eco-phenomenology to articulate an approach to wonder that escapes the connected traps of anthropocentrism and correlationism. Brian Onishi argues that wonder has explanatory power for the constitution of the world and the organization of meaning. To do this, he appeals to both fiction (speculative and Weird fiction in particular) and quantum physics. More specifically, he argues that the focus of Weird fiction on impossible experiences and a feeling of something just beyond the limits of one’s grasp dramatizes the speculative reach beyond the limits of our understanding. But more than a tool for knowledge acquisition, wonder is an organizing property of objects. Like the collapse of superposition in quantum physics, reality is constituted when objects reveal themselves to other objects and thereby organize themselves into complex objects. Since no relation is exhaustive, the capacity to wonder remains at a material level, and the possibility of reorganization is ever present. Ultimately, Onishi argues for a speculative eco-phenomenology with wonder as an engine for a Weird environmental ethics.

The Weiser Field Guide to Cryptozoology includes a brief history of the field and surveys all the creatures for which any credible amount of research exists—as well as giving tips on how to spot these creatures and cautionary advice on how to interact with them.

Welche Natur? Und welche Literatur?: Traditionen, Wandlungen und Perspektiven des Nature Writing (Ecocriticism. Literatur-, kultur- und medienwissenschaftliche Perspektiven #1)
by Tanja Van Hoorn Ludwig FischerMit diesem Band gewinnt die deutschsprachige Forschung transdisziplinär Anschluss an die internationalen Nature Writing-Diskussionen. Der Sammelband sondiert das Feld des Nature Writing hinsichtlich der Frage, welche Natur dabei in den unterschiedlichen historisch-kulturellen Konstellationen in jeweils welcher spezifischen literarischen Textur zur Darstellung kommt. Programmatisch-konzeptionell stehen damit nicht zuletzt die (möglicherweise verdeckt normativen) Naturvorstellungen des klassischen und rezenten Nature Writing zur Diskussion. Dies wird in exemplarischen Lektüren untersucht, etwa, indem die Kategorien einer ›unberührten‹ Natur bzw. des ›Wilden‹ – auch im Kontext des sogenannten Rewilding – problematisiert oder aber die ästhetisch geformte Darstellung zivilisatorisch veränderter, sei es anthropogen zerstörter, sei es gärtnerischer gestalteter Natur analysiert wird. Präsentiert werden Beiträge aus amerikanistischer, germanistischer, philosophischer und biologiegeschichtlicher Perspektive zu prominenten Vertreter*innen des englischsprachigen Nature Writing (Henry David Thoreau, Val Plumwood u.a.) ebenso wie zu indigenem Natur-Wissen (Robin Wall Kimmerer) und zu Werken deutschsprachiger naturaffiner Autor*innen der Tradition (Adalbert von Chamisso) und Gegenwart (z.B. Ulrike Draesner, Esther Kinsky und W.G. Sebald). Die Untersuchungen ästhetischer Natur-Darstellungsverfahren erfolgen in close readings sowie im Horizont von politischer Ökologie, New Materialism, Ecocriticism, den seit geraumer Zeit gerade in England geführten Diskussionen zu Möglichkeiten und Grenzen eines New Nature Writing und den jüngsten Bestrebungen, die verschüttete Linie eines deutschsprachigen Nature Writing zu rekonstruieren.

Welcoming Your Puppy from Planet Dog: How to Go Beyond Training and Raise Your Best Friend
by Kathy CallahanWritten in a fresh, warm voice loaded with empathy, Welcoming Your Puppy from Planet Dog lights the path to a relaxed, happy interspecies household “I truly LOVE this book. If I were fostering, breeding, or getting a new puppy, I’d read it twice, and still keep it within reach every day.” — Dr. Patricia McConnell, applied animal behaviorist, speaker, and author of The Other End of the Leash and The Puppy Primer After a decade of guiding people who’ve just added a puppy to the family, dog trainer Kathy Callahan has learned a fundamental truth: at some point every one of them feels overwhelmed. When they seek out expertise, they’re flooded with impossibly detailed advice, conflicting opinions, and a surprising number of techniques that seem unkind. In contrast, Callahan reassures owners that success flows not from nailing an intimidating list of disciplinary tactics, but from adopting a mindset of “trusted guide” rather than “master.” The key to great training is recognizing that we have essentially kidnapped these puppies from their own vastly different culture. Using an easy-to-grasp “Planet Dog / Planet Human” concept, Callahan dives into the puppy essentials, including: • how to prepare your house (and yourself) for puppyhood • potty training, chewing, jumping, and other challenges • how to train with fun, not fear • why it might seem your puppy “just doesn’t listen” • navigating puppyhood with young kids, cats, and/or other dogs • what to do if there’s household disagreement on things like whether dogs belong on furniture In fun-to-read chapters filled with empathy for both the beleaguered humans and their confused puppies, Welcoming Your Puppy from Planet Dog paves the way for a rewarding friendship between a relaxed, well-prepared human and a canine family member who’s happily at ease in our world.

Well-being, Sustainability and Social Development: The Netherlands 1850–2050
by John Grin Jan-Pieter Smits Frank Veraart Harry LintsenThis open access book examines more than two centuries of societal development using novel historical and statistical approaches. It applies the well-being monitor developed by Statistics Netherlands that has been endorsed by a significant part of the international, statistical community. It features The Netherlands as a case study, which is an especially interesting example; although it was one of the world’s richest countries around 1850, extreme poverty and inequality were significant problems of well-being at the time. Monitors of 1850, 1910, 1970 and 2015 depict the changes in three dimensions of well-being: the quality of life 'here and now', 'later' and 'elsewhere'. The analysis of two centuries shows the solutions to the extreme poverty problem and the appearance of new sustainability problems, especially in domestic and foreign ecological systems. The study also reveals the importance of natural capital: soil, air, water and subsoil resources, showing their relation with the social structure of the ‘here and now´. Treatment and trade of natural resources also impacted on the quality of life ‘later’ and ‘elsewhere.’ Further, the book illustrates the role of natural capital by dividing the capital into three types of raw materials and concomitant material flows: bio-raw materials, mineral and fossil subsoil resources. Additionally, the analysis of the institutional context identifies the key roles of social groups in well-being development. The book ends with an assessment of the solutions and barriers offered by the historical anchoring of the well-being and sustainability issues. This unique analysis of well-being and sustainability and its institutional analysis appeals to historians, statisticians and policy makers.
