Postcards to the Future: Mercurial Musings 1995-2021 brings together the very best work in astrological journalism by Anne Whitaker, first published in and on such highly respected magazines and websites as The Mountain Astrologer, The Astrological Journal, Dell Horoscope, Astrodienst (astro.com) and more. This unique collection of essays and articles covers a vast spectrum of subjects - from planetary cycles, Fate, the 12th house, professional ethics and science to transits, progressions, planetary ingresses, Jungian psychology and the astrological links between between Frankenstein creator Mary Shelley and climate activist Greta Thunberg. Even Dolly the Sheep''s cosmic significance is charted. As a writer and columnist, Anne Whitaker carries her considerable learning lightly. She combines a forensic approach to subjects with flashes of sardonic humour, often linking themes to her own extraordinary and eventful life. This approach has earned her an army of fans (and editors) who appreciate her fearlessness, honesty, openness and critical robustness. Praise for Postcards by leading astrologers: "Prolific writer, creative thinker, caring soul and in-depth astrologer. Anne Whitaker reveals all these characters in this engaging compilation of astrological writings and musings, inspired by her 40+ years of immersion in astrology. I greatly admire the way Anne animates astrological symbols so they live in the moment and touch us deeply. Postcards is brimming with these moments." - Brian Clark, author of Soul, Symbol and Imagination "Postcards to the Future by master astrologer Anne Whitaker is a superlative collection of delight and depth. Anne offers us sagacious storytelling treasures of soulful, relatable experience culled from her lifetime of study, counseling, teaching, and writing, including her much-loved Dell Horoscope column. Each recollection of old cycles or new horizons brims with the wisdom and wit that only four decades of exploration through a lens of eloquent self-observation and poetic psychological awareness could give. ''A life well examined'', Socrates would say, and wonderfully shared in this rich, sophisticated compilation - Ronnie Grishman, Editor Emeritus, Dell Horoscope magazine "An in-depth knowledge of astrology requires an investigative and probing mind. To become proficient in the art, astrologers must learn more than the basics and how to apply them - they must test assumptions learned from books and teachers, put energy into researching the links between birth charts and biographies, and keep curious and observant - always keen to refine their craft. Astrology must also be a deeply personal pursuit, for the way in which we approach and interpret a birth chart reflects our subjective view of the world. However open we astrologers may be to others'' viewpoints and techniques, inevitably we relate to a birth chart from our own lens coloured by life experiences and interactions. "Postcards to the Future fulfils both criteria. It''s a diverse compendium of astute, hard-won, professional observations that also contains many humorous and personal anecdotes. It''s a sincere reflection of Anne Whitaker''s pursuit of all things astrological, and her personal journey as a psychological astrologer and consultant... "The essays in Postcards are peppered with new perspectives on familiar topics - the sort of perceptive analyses only available to a writer after years of searching and researching the subject...In Anne Whitaker, we meet these through a Mercury-Pluto conjunction and Jupiter in Scorpio in the 3rd house - placements worthy of a writer, counsellor, teacher and mentor who has made astrology her creative passion for over 40 years." - Frank C. Clifford, celebrated astrologer, teacher, lecturer, publisher and author

Finalist, 2022 Ecocriticism Book Prize, Association for the Study of Literature and the Environment Shortlisted, 2020 Book Prize, Association for the Study of the Arts of the Present How do literature and other cultural forms shape how we imagine the planet, for better or worse? In this rich, original, and long awaited book, Jennifer Wenzel tackles the formal innovations, rhetorical appeals, and sociological imbrications of world literature that might help us confront unevenly distributed environmental crises, including global warming. The Disposition of Nature argues that assumptions about what nature is are at stake in conflicts over how it is inhabited or used. Both environmental discourse and world literature scholarship tend to confuse parts and wholes. Working with writing and film from Africa, South Asia, and beyond, Wenzel takes a contrapuntal approach to sites and subjects dispersed across space and time. Reading for the planet, Wenzel shows, means reading from near to there: across experiential divides, between specific sites, at more than one scale. Impressive in its disciplinary breadth, Wenzel’s book fuses insights from political ecology, geography, anthropology, history, and law, while drawing on active debates between postcolonial theory and world literature, as well as scholarship on the Anthropocene and the material turn. In doing so, the book shows the importance of the literary to environmental thought and practice, elaborating how a supple understanding of cultural imagination and narrative logics can foster more robust accounts of global inequality and energize movements for justice and livable futures.

David Opdyke's massive collage This Land (as elucidated in this book by award-winning author Lawrence Weschler) presents a slow-burning satire of the American Dream as it blunders into the reality of climate change. This Land is an epic mural fashioned by New York artist David Opdyke out of vintage American postcards which he then treated with disconcerting painted interventions. What at first reads as a panoramic birdʼs-eye view of an idyllic alpine valley reveals itself, upon closer examination, to be an array of connected scenes and vignettes. Across more than five hundred postcards, each one portraying a distinct slice of idealized Americana (town squares, mountain highways, main streets and county seats), Opdykeʼs acerbic, emotionally jarring alterations gradually become evident. In this prophetic refashioning, forests are aflame, tornadoes torque from one card into the next, a steamboat gets swallowed up whole by some sort of new megafauna, frogs fall like Biblical hail from the sky. The human responses form a cacophony of desires and demands, panic and denial. Biplanes trail banners urging Repent Now!, others insist Legislative Action Would Be Premature, while still others advertise seats on an actual Ark. The book This Land affords readers a closer and closer viewing of Opdyke’s devastatingly sardonic take on our impending ecological future, one in turn enlivened by Lawrence Weschlerʼs vividly sly blend of artist profile and critical interpretation. Featuring introductory essays providing background on the artist and the project as a whole, This Land also divides the sprawling mural into eight sections to allow for a more intimate viewing. Interspersed among the detailed visual sections are insightful thematic essays by Lawrence Weschler and an afterword that serves as a stirring call to action by civil rights attorney Maya Wiley. Additionally, the book's jacket is printed on both sides, folding out to reveal the work in its full grandeur.
