Working with thoughts and sensations that arise from a life in place, each entry has its beginning in some experience of terrain and its creatures and communities, its weathers and their disturbances. Seeking to understand and do justice to and with these experiences that hold a charge for her, Rockel allows associations and interconnections to elaborate themselves and to range far and wide - to the science of terra preta soils ; the songs of the Carmina Gadelica ; parasite-induced behaviours in mammals ; family and community history in Tasmania, Ireland, Germany and Aotearoa New Zealand ; deep-ocean currents ; Celtic mythology of the Italian Alps ; the journals of Joseph Banks ; power-to-sound conversion in mole crickets ; earthquake displacement phenomena; nineteenth-century roadbuilding techniques; the chemistry of flame ... All of this is part of the work of (in)forming apolitics of the imagination. How are we to live?"--Back cover.
