Reviews
"This impressively researched and vigorous argued study will be of the first importance to all environmental humanists, especially for its deeply-informed and subtle account of the "trans-corporeality" of the human self." -- Lawrence Buell, Harvard University, "Alaimo does a fabulous job of thinking through how a trans-corporeal understanding of matter provides a more robust and more adequate basis for appreciating issues of environmental health and environmental justice." -- Nancy Tuana, The Pennsylvania State University, "Bodily Natures showcases the distinctive contribution that an ecocritic can make to the field." --Enviromental Ethics, "Alaimo does a fabulous job of thinking through how a trans-corporeal understanding of matter provides a more robust and more adequate basis for appreciating issues of environmental health and environmental justice." -- Nancy Tuana, Pennsylvania State University, "This impressively researched and vigorously argued study will be of the first importance to all environmental humanists, especially for its deeply-informed and subtle account of the "trans-corporeality" of the human self." -- Lawrence Buell, Harvard University, "Bodily Natures showcases the distinctive contribution that an ecocritic can make to the field." -Enviormental Ethics, "This is a book that should be read by anyone-scholars, students, readers, and anyone else with a body-for it is a marvelous contribution to environmental thinking and to human culture more broadly." -American Book Review, December 1, 2010, This is a book that should be read by anyone-scholars, students, readers, and anyone else with a body-for it is a marvelous contribution to environmental thinking and to human culture more broadly., "Alaimo offers new insights into feminist thought and theory.

Synopsis
By looking at a broad range of creative and philosophical writings, Alaimo illuminates how science, politics, and culture collide, while considering the closeness of the human body to the environment., How do we understand the agency and significance of material forces and their interface with human bodies? What does it mean to be human in these times, with bodies that are inextricably interconnected with our physical world? Bodily Natures considers these questions by grappling with powerful and pervasive material forces and their increasingly harmful effects on the human body. Drawing on feminist theory, environmental studies, and the sciences, Stacy Alaimo focuses on trans-corporeality, or movement across bodies and nature, which has profoundly altered our sense of self. By looking at a broad range of creative and philosophical writings, Alaimo illuminates how science, politics, and culture collide, while considering the closeness of the human body to the environment.
