{"product_id":"9781956046472","title":"Held : Essays in Aftermaths by Kathryn Nuernberger","description":"From award-winning author Kathryn Nuernberger, Held is a collection of essays about mutualisms, mutual aid, and ways of being together in a time of climate crisis.   Here is a collection about living in and with the consequences of terrible mistakes-Held contemplates our collective experiences of loss in an age of climate change and mass extinctions, as well as more personal tragedies. Each essay in this book describes a remarkable instance of symbiotic mutualism: bobtail squid host glow-in-the-dark bacteria behind their eyes so they can camouflage with moonlight on the water; there is a surprisingly erotic encounter between ants and a rove beetle; beavers and willow trees together turn deserts to verdant wetlands; and many more. To read Held is to be reminded of one's humanity and of our interconnectedness with the world that surrounds us.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56369430200693,"sku":"9781956046472","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781956046472.jpg?v=1763553242","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781956046472","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
