Opis

As the stages of the COVID-19 pandemic have unfolded, so have its complexities. This volume addresses the collective sense that the pandemic is more than a problem to manage our way out of. Rather, it is a moment to consider our broken relationship with the natural world, and our alienation from a deeper sense of purpose and meaning.
