Despite the gravity of her subject matter, Alaimo's examples and writing are often playful. This not only echoes the complexity and occasional contradictions of environmental politics but also makes Exposed a very enjoyable read. This book is much more than a theoretical exploration; it calls on us to rethink what it means to be human and act accordingly. -New Books Network A must read for members of the American Rock Garden Society, as well as those living in similar areas worldwide. -Natural Areas Journal Accessibly written, lucidly argued, and capacious in its ambit, there is so much in this book to savor, to be inspired by, and to provoke. -Jeffrey Jerome Cohen, author of Stone: An Ecology of the Inhuman In addition to the descriptions and analyses of imaginative activism, strange agencies of non-human entities, and the politics of place, Alaimo develops compelling theories of self, action, and being human along the way. -J. Jack Halberstam, University of Southern California
