{"product_id":"the-wake-of-crows-thom-van-dooren-9780231182829","title":"The Wake of Crows: Living and Dying in Shared Worlds","description":"\u003cp\u003eCrows can be found almost everywhere that people are, from tropical islands to deserts and arctic forests, from densely populated cities to suburbs and farms. Across these diverse landscapes, many species of crow are doing well: their intelligent and adaptive ways of life have allowed them to thrive amid human-driven transformations. Indeed, crows are frequently disliked for their success, seen as pests, threats, and scavengers on the detritus of human life. But among the vast variety of crows, there are also critically endangered species that are barely hanging on to existence, some of them the subjects of passionate conservation efforts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Wake of Crows\u003c\/i\u003e is an exploration of the entangled lives of humans and crows. Focusing on five key sites, Thom van Dooren asks how we might live well with crows in a changing world. He explores contemporary possibilities for shared life emerging in the context of ongoing processes of globalization, colonization, urbanization, and climate change. Moving among these diverse contexts, this book tells stories of extermination and extinction alongside fragile efforts to better understand and make room for other species. Grounded in the careful work of paying attention to particular crows and their people, \u003ci\u003eThe Wake of Crows\u003c\/i\u003e is an effort to imagine and put into practice a multispecies ethics. In so doing, van Dooren explores some of the possibilities that still exist for living and dying well on this damaged planet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thom Van Dooren\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231182821\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231182829\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2020","brand":"Thom Van Dooren","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44045621854463,"sku":"9780231182829","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_90d095bd-dfb7-4c12-90fc-7b3e0b7dfa4d.jpg?v=1684979770","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-wake-of-crows-thom-van-dooren-9780231182829","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
