Eco-Concepts: Critical Reflections in Emerging Ecocritical Theory and Ecological Thought offers an intellectual journey through the ever-evolving landscapes of environmental discourse. This thought-provoking volume brings together contributors from international scholarship to scrutinize and illuminate the contemporary trends reshaping our understanding of the natural environment. From the intricate interplay of rising ecocritical theories like restoration and empirical ecocriticism to the nuanced shifts in the reimagining of ecological concepts, this book unravels the complexities of our relationship with the natural sphere. This scholarly collection serves as a compass, guiding readers through the uncharted territories of environmental scholarship or revisiting existing study through fresh critical perspectives. Eco-Concepts strives to become an essential source of reference for academics, students, and individuals seeking an in-depth exploration of the innovative notions influencing the trajectory of discussions on ecology.

The “polycrisis” of our time has brought forth a dynamic array of creative responses from interdisciplinary scholars in the environmental humanitiesThe diverse contributors to this collection orient us to this complex mosaic of emerging ideas and approaches. Scholars, students, and general readers alike will find useful guidance here as we seek our collective way forward amid perplexing social and environmental change. -- Curt Meine, Senior Fellow, Aldo Leopold Foundation and Center for Humans and Nature
Eco-concepts: Critical Reflections in Emerging Ecocritical Theory and Ecological Thought is an important collection of texts written by scholars from all over the world. That brilliant survey of eco-concepts ranging from “Eco-Deconstruction” to “Ecopsychology” and from “Restoration Ecocriticism” to “Gandhian Ecosophy,” from “Blue Humanities” to “Nuclear Humanities” and “Critical Plant Studies,” is a fascinating demonstration of the role of writers, artists and scholars to make the world more aware and more ecoconscious. A major contribution to the field of ecocriticism, it is both a brilliant collection of scholarly analyses of a great range of eco-concepts and an active gesture towards the healing of the world. -- Françoise Besson, Université Tolouse, France
Eco-Concepts offers a sweeping overview of the most vibrant ideas in the environmental humanities, from the pragmatism of an international ecocide law that would give nature legal standing to the profundity of Gandhian reflections on the ecological meaning of selfhood. Cenk Tan and Ismail Serdar Altaç have collected twenty-one diverse essays that will be of interest to both specialists and newcomers to the field. -- Scott Slovic, Oregon Research Institute
