Dispersion
Bloomsbury Academic USA (Verlag)
978-1-5013-7062-5 (ISBN)
Grounded in Thoreau’s ecology and in contemporary plant studies, Dispersion: Thoreau and Vegetal Thought offers answers to those questions by pondering such concepts as co-dependence, the continuity of life forms, relationality, cohabitation, porousness, fragility, the openness of beings to incessant modification by other beings and phenomena, patience, waiting, slowness and receptivity.
