Signs and Wonders Dispatches from a Time of Beauty and Loss [Audiobook]

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.
