A rising ocean. A falling building. A toxic river. Species extinguished. A nuclear landscape. In a world so configured, the state of contemporary ecological thought and practice is woefully - and perilously - inadequate. Focusing on the government's nuclear waste burial program in Carlsbad, New Mexico, this book begins the urgent work of finding a new way of thinking about ecological threat in our time.
