Through the \"cosmolegal\" perspective, this study embraces the inherent uncertainties and complexities of Earth-space interactions. From Arctic methane craters to orbital debris, the book weaves together scientific insights, landscape architecture, legal theory, and doctrine to address pressing environmental challenges that span Earth and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile legal scholarship has increasingly engaged with Earth System Science, it typically treats outer space as distinct from Earth's environment. However, Earth's existence and complex systems are fundamentally intertwined with and emerge from outer space. This book argues that a legal framework for Earth's systems needs to include outer space.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt its core, the book advocates for a \"complexification\" of law, calling for greater epistemic humility in legal thought and practice. Thoughtful and provocative, this work invites readers to reconsider fundamental assumptions about law, nature, and agency beyond the human in an era of planetary change. The cosmolegal approach aims to shift legal imagination and understanding, positioning human law as just one of many actors within the cosmos.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis original work will appeal to scholars of legal theory and environmental law, as well as those interested in posthumanism, ecology, and materialism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elena Cirkovic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032266872\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032266879\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/17\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d","brand":"Elena Cirkovic","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46739175080191,"sku":"9781032266879","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f9f167c3-5fd9-417b-a488-8814409a34e7.jpg?v=1743277437","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-law-of-complex-earth-elena-cirkovic-9781032266879","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
