My new open-access article in @politicalgeography.bsky.social explores the making of "movable nature"— salvage work that moves nature out of the way of infrastructure and extraction projects.
Some food for thought: if you're reviewing a book & it has good, useful maps, say so in the review! And name the mapmaker if you can.
Often, folks writing books don't know where to go for good maps. Making mention of them in your review helps everyone.

I am so furious at all the scenario modelers and CDR promoters who promised that machines could afford us "climate restoration." These people should be shunned.
Techno-optimism is as dangerous to our children as outright climate denial.
Denial isn't driving EU and UK policy! But CDR BS totally is.
