"Earth Emotions is thorough, composed, and historically illuminative.
Grounded and powerful in its message, this book helps explain in an accessible way the history of Earth emotion neologisms and the relationships of land and psyche."
- Nick Stanger, Washington University:
"Glenn Albrecht's vision is at once realistic and contagiously optimistic. Through unique language, he names the heart-breaking loss we feel as nature gets pummeled. Yet our senses open and our smiles re-emerge as we recognize that such destruction can be the catalyst for the evolution of human consciousness. This book is a manifesto for a new Earth."
"A remarkable work of interdisciplinary philosophy that unites eco-linguistics and story-telling, this open-hearted, sharp-minded book not only diagnoses what Kristeva once called our 'new maladies of the soul', but shows us a way to escape them; by moving out of the Anthropocene and into the Symbiocene."
Peter Kahn, University of Washington, author of Technological Nature:
"Glenn Albrecht is one of the most important eco-philosophers of our time, though the term 'eco-philosopher' may be too narrow. He is also a map-maker: he names the roads ahead, the dead-ends, the detours, and potential destinations. And, unlike so many scientists, he does not describe those roads only with numbers, but with a new language of emotions — those now emerging from the tragedy and the possibility of the Earth.
In Earth Emotions, Albrecht seeks to provide a new lexicon of emotional terms. The purpose of these terms is twofold: first, to allow people make better sense of themselves and of their relationship with the planet; second, to encourage development of a more meaningful and optimistic outlook toward the planet.
Albrecht offers a framework within which to understand and acknowledge the dissociation of humans from the living world. With a new language and means of expression, a wider array of stories from diverse voices can hopefully be heard."
Richard Louv, author of The Nature Principle:
