Now Abram returns with a startling exploration of our human entanglement with the rest of nature. \u003cbr\u003eAs the climate veers toward catastrophe, the innumerable losses cascading through the biosphere make vividly evident the need for a metamorphosis in our relation to the living land. For too long we've inured ourselves to the wild intelligence of our muscled flesh, taking our primary truths from technologies that hold the living world at a distance. This book subverts that distance, drawing readers ever deeper into their animal senses in order to explore, from within, the elemental kinship between the body and the breathing Earth. \u003cbr\u003eThe shapeshifting of ravens, the erotic nature of gravity, the eloquence of thunder, the pleasures of being edible: all have their place in Abram's investigation. He shows that from the awakened perspective of the human animal, awareness (or mind) is not an exclusive possession of our species but a lucid quality of the biosphere itself--a quality in which we, along with the oaks and the spiders, steadily participate. \u003cbr\u003eWith the audacity of its vision and the luminosity of its prose, \"Becoming Animal\" sets a new benchmark for the human appraisal of our place in the whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Pantheon","offers":[{"title":"Becoming Animal: An Earthly Cosmology | David Abram | Hardcover | 9780375421716 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks E 1761130","offer_id":49229604028568,"sku":"1761130","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71cRBYi8YvL.jpg?v=1781219831","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/becoming-animal-an-earthly-cosmology","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
