From these two fragmentary passages, Virginia Burrus delivers a series of sweeping meditations on our experience of place and the more-than-human worlds--the earth and its gods--that surround us. Moving between the personal and geological, \u003ci\u003eEarthquakes and Gardens\u003c\/i\u003e ruminates on destruction and resilience, ruination and resurgence, grief and consolation in times of disaster and loss. Ultimately, Burrus's close readings reimagine religion as a practice that unsettles certainty and develops mutual flourishing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Virginia Burrus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226823229\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226823225\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/19\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Virginia Burrus","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44122975502591,"sku":"9780226823225","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_77274680-5074-48f3-abe1-ee52a712dd95.jpg?v=1687428199","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/earthquakes-and-gardens-virginia-burrus-9780226823225","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
