Description

Eben Kirksey's Emergent Ecologies offers a fresh perspective on the environmental crisis. Rather than focusing on doomsday scenarios, this book explores the possibilities in the wreckage of ongoing disasters.

Through a combination of artwork and contemporary philosophy, Kirksey illustrates hopeful opportunities for conservation and reframe key problems such as invasive species and extinction. By examining chance encounters, historical accidents, and parasitic invasions, he reveals how multispecies communities are shaping our understanding of the natural world.

This book presents a new approach to caring for emergent ecological assemblages, involving frogs, fungal pathogens, ants, monkeys, people, and plants. By seeding, nurturing, protecting, and ultimately letting go, we can learn to care for these complex systems.
