About this book
Habit rules our lives. While many of our individual habits seem perfectly reasonable, when aggregated together they spell ecological disaster. Beyond consumerism, other ways of living are clearly possible. Reoccupy Earth shows how an approach to philosophy attuned to our ecological existence can suspend the taken-for-granted and open up alternative forms of earthly dwelling.
Focusing not on big ideas but on habits, Wood plots pathways that disrupt our routine experience of the world and challenge our everyday complacency.

Reviews
Amanda Boetzkes, author of The Ethics of Earth Art:
Wood offers an insightful account of the ecological condition as it is shaped by habit, experience, and an ethics of the everyday. While much has been written about ecology, the Anthropocene, and the politics of place, little theoretical work has brought ecology to the realm of lived experience and the ways in which humans constitute meaning. Reoccupy Earth does so with depth and sensitivity.
