It is in this context that a multifaceted approach to plant-life can reveal the importance of ecological interconnectedness and lead to a more nuanced consideration of the variety of living organisms and ecosystems with which we share the planet. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Botanical Speculations, researchers, artists, art historians, and activists collaboratively map the uncharted territories of new forms of botanical knowledge. This book emerges from a symposium held at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in September 2017, and capitalizes on contemporary artâ (TM)s ability to productively unhinge scientific theories and certainties in order to help us reconsider unquestioned beliefs about this living world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Giovanni Aloi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1527513653\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781527513655\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge Scholars Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/17\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.90w x 1.20d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Giovanni Aloi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48623145877759,"sku":"9781527513655","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/botanical-speculations-giovanni-aloi-9781527513655","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
