Signs and Wonders: Dispatches from a Time of Beauty and Loss by Delia Falconer
Requirements: .MP3 reader, 212 MB
Overview: Signs and Wonders is a pioneering examination of how we are changing our culture, language, and imaginations along with our climate. Is a mammoth emerging from the permafrost beautiful or terrifying? How is our imagination affected when something that used to be ordinary – like a car windscreen smeared with insects – becomes unimaginable? What can the disappearance of the paragraph from much contemporary writing tell us about what’s happening in the modern mind? Scientists write about a “great acceleration” in human impact on the natural world. Signs and Wonders shows that we are also in a period of profound cultural acceleration, which is just as dynamic, strange, extreme, and, sometimes, beautiful. Ranging from an “unnatural” history of coal to the effect of a large fur seal turning up in the park below her apartment, this book is a searching and poetic examination of the ways we are thinking about how, and why, to live now.
