"I have been reading Timothy Morton's books for a while and I like them a lot." - Bjork "Considered by many to be among the top philosophers in the world, especially among those tackling issues related to human effects on our environment, Morton herein provides an important, spirited, and sometimes frenetic analysis of the foundational assumptions of Marxism and other -isms with regard to nature and culture." - Jeff Vandermeer, author of The Southern Reach trilogy, The Millions "By suggesting imaginative ways to resolve other crises, could humanities scholars stave off the crisis engulfing their own subjects? Morton proposes a future in which the venerable ideas of "nature" and "environment" are so much detritus, useless for addressing a looming ecological catastrophe. His book exemplifies the "serious" humanities scholarship he makes a plea for. My head's still spinning." -Noel Castree, Times Higher Education (Praise for The Ecological Thought) "Timothy Morton brings to bear his deep knowledge of a wide array of subjects to propose a new way of looking at our situation, which might allow us to take action toward the future health of the biosphere. Crucially, the relations between Buddhism and science, nature and culture, are examined in the fusion of a single vision. The result is a great work of cognitive mapping, both exciting and useful." (Praise for Hyperobjects) - Kim Stanley Robinson, author Aurora and the Mars trilogy "A very good introduction to what Theory (capital T) might have to say about climate change and species die-off." - Ted Hamlton, Los Angeles Review of Books "A poetic tour de force that is both academically and philosophically rigorous." - Steven Umbrello, Journal of Critical Realism
