Reviews

"Against all-too-human accounts of the Anthropocene, Jamie Lorimer envisions a dynamic cosmopolitics for wildlife. He demonstrates how species ‘conservation’ can somehow proceed as neither mastery nor naturalism but, instead, as necessary experiments in interspecies responsibility."-Stacy Alaimo, author of Bodily Natures: Science, Environment, and the Material Self "Jamie Lorimer has written a very provocative and relevant book about the future of conservation."-CHOICE"An enlightening and very readable introduction to some key concepts."-Human Geography"An important book for anyone engaged in conservation."-Quarterly Review of Biology
