{"title":"Adam Bobbette","description":null,"products":[{"product_id":"political-geology-book-adam-bobbette-9783319981888","title":"Political Geology","description":"This book explores the emerging field of political geology, an area of study dedicated to understanding the cross-sections between geology and politics. It considers how geological forces such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and unstable ground are political forces and how political forces have an impact on the earth. Together the authors seek to understand how the geos has been known, spoken for, captured, controlled and represented while creating the active underlying strata for producing worlds.  This comprehensive collection covers a variety of interdisciplinary topics including the history of the geological sciences, non-Western theories of geology, the origin of the earth, and the relationship between humans and nature. It includes chapters that re-think the earth’s ‘geostory’ as well as case studies on the politics of earthquakes in Mexico city, shamans on an Indonesian volcano, geologists at Oxford, and eroding islands in Japan. In each case political geology is attentive to the encounters between political projects and the generative geological materials that are enlisted and often slip, liquefy or erode away. This book will be of great interest to scholars and practitioners across the political and geographical sciences, as well as to philosophers of science, anthropologists and sociologists more broadly.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49559671013649,"sku":"GOR012553955","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52585902571793,"sku":"NLS9783319981888","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3319981889.jpg?v=1750998960"},{"product_id":"weather-book-adam-bobbette-9781514372593","title":"Weather","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51032226398481,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51032228495633,"sku":"NIN9781514372593","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1514372592.jpg?v=1751211255"},{"product_id":"pulse-of-the-earth-book-adam-bobbette-9781478025054","title":"The Pulse of the Earth","description":"Adam Bobbette tells the story of how modern theories of the earth emerged from the slopes of Indonesia's volcanoes, showing that the origin of the earth sciences emerged from a fusion of Western and non-Western cosmology, theology, anthropology, and geology.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51594358063377,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51594358096145,"sku":"NIN9781478025054","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52356087775505,"sku":"CIN1478025050VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52629671346449,"sku":"CIN1478025050G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1478025050.jpg?v=1761991103"},{"product_id":"pulse-of-the-earth-book-adam-bobbette-9781478020073","title":"The Pulse of the Earth","description":"In The Pulse of the Earth Adam Bobbette tells the story of how modern theories of the earth emerged from the slopes of Indonesia's volcanoes. Beginning in the late nineteenth century, scientists became concerned with protecting the colonial plantation economy from the unpredictable bursts and shudders of volcanoes. Bobbette follows Javanese knowledge traditions, colonial geologists, volcanologists, mystics, Theosophists, orientalists, and revolutionaries to show how the earth sciences originate from a fusion of Western and non-Western cosmology, theology, anthropology, and geology. Drawing on archival research, interviews, and fieldwork at Javanese volcanoes and in scientific observatories, he explores how Indonesian Islam shaped the theory of plate tectonics, how Dutch colonial volcanologists learned to see the earth in new ways from Javanese spiritual traditions, and how new scientific technologies radically recast notions of the human body, distance, and the earth. In this way, Bobbette decenters the significance of Western scientists to expand our understanding of the evolution of planetary thought and rethinks the politics of geological knowledge.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52099690430737,"sku":"NIN9781478020073","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781478020073.jpg?v=1757086870"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-adam-bobbette.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
