  abstract: The book brings together philosophy, ecoculture and political ecology in a creative, critical and timely manner to outline how one might live sacrally with the living earth. Drawing on a rich variety of ecocultural texts and from a wide range of philosophers and other thinkers from the ancient Greeks to the present day (principally Peter Sloterdijk and occasionally Byung-Chul Han), the book invites the reader to step along the pathway for living with nature sacrally in the Anthropobscene away from the drive for mastery of nature to the desire for, and pleasures of, mutuality with the living earth. Giblett begins with discussions of the four elements, the humors, the monstrous, the sublime, slime, the uncanny; going on through the landscapes of World War I and II, mourning, melancholy, despair, cities, slums, tombs, wombs, and being born; and finally concludes with bio- and psycho-symbiosis, livelihood, bioregion and the living earth. Rod Giblett is Honorary Associate Professor of Writing and Literature at Deakin University, Australia. He has authored thirty books consisting of both fiction and non-fiction, including his most recent book for Palgrave Macmillan: The Politics of Nature and Environmental Writing: Political Ecocriticism (2025). He also edits the new Transdisciplinary Environmental Humanities book series for Palgrave with Rachel Fetherston. .
