  • Territory Beyond Terra

    Edición de Kimberley Peters, Elaine Stratford, Philip Steinberg ...

    de Andreas Malm ...
    An attack on the idea that nature and society are impossible to distinguish from each otherIn a world careening towards climate chaos, nature is dead. It can no longer be separated from society.
