{"product_id":"the-violent-technologies-of-extraction-alexander-dunlap-9783030268510","title":"The Violent Technologies of Extraction: Political Ecology, Critical Agrarian Studies and the Capitalist Worldeater","description":"Offering a thought provoking theoretical conversation around ecological crisis and natural resource extraction, this book suggests that we are on a trajectory geared towards total extractivism guided by the mythological Worldeater. The authors discuss why and how we have come to live in this catastrophic predicament, rooting the present in an original perspective that animates the forces of global techno-capitalist development. They argue that the Worldeater helps us make sense of the insatiable forces that transform, convert and consume the world. The book combines this unique approach with detailed academic review of critical agrarian studies and political ecology, the militarization of nature and the conventional and 'green' extraction nexus. It seeks radical reflection on the role people play in the construction and perpetuation of these crises, and concludes with some suggestions on how to tackle them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexander Dunlap, Jostein Jakobsen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030268519\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030268510\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave Pivot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/25\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.63d","brand":"Alexander Dunlap","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44056473960703,"sku":"9783030268510","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f359bfe6-a156-4777-a75a-4ca7abe50bec.jpg?v=1685041514","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-violent-technologies-of-extraction-alexander-dunlap-9783030268510","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
