A more-than-human approach to planetary survival, from a leading environmental humanist. Ecologies of a Storied Planet in the Anthropocene is a tour de force. With transdisciplinarity and theoretical lucidity, it rethinks the Anthropocene from a material ecocritical perspective, envisioning innovative modes of knowledge for deeper understandings of Anthropocene ecologies. Focusing on nonhuman agencies, Serpil Oppermann shows in fascinating detail how to better imagine an ecological future on our storied planet that has suffered enormously from an anthropocentric mindset.
Serpil Oppermann is professor of environmental humanities and director of the Environmental Humanities Center at Cappadocia University. She is the coeditor of many books, including International Perspectives in Feminist Ecocriticism, Material Ecocriticism, and Environmental Humanities: Voices from the Anthropocene.

"Simply dazzling. . . . The book is shockingly revealing, honest, and persuasive. It shines."-Ecocene "Genuinely interdisciplinary, clear, and readable. This should be read across the academy-from geography to literary studies."-Claire Colebrook, Penn State University
