"The Routledge Companion to Ecopoetics offers a comprehensive coverage of the vital and growing movement of ecopoetics, charting the historical influences informing ecopoetics, delineating its various subdivisions, and presenting a global range of established figures and emerging scholarly debates. This volume begins with a general introduction to the field, followed by three major sections: Historical Contexts and Influences; Scalar Levels of Poetic Engagement, ranging from global through regional, terrain-oriented, local, and microscopic; and Intersections, examining poetic encounters with science, critical animal studies, philosophy, ethnobotany, environmental justice, visual and performing arts, disability studies, spirituality and ritual, and translation. The innovative second section will facilitate a comprehensive and systems-based sequencing, including ecopoetic engagements with topics including climate change, deforestation, extinction, pollution, toxicity, and disasters; fieldwork and close observation, and chemistry as it relates to environments including the human body. Each section will feature a broad overview and detailed consideration of poiesis, with reference to specific texts. The brand new essays in this book represent a wide variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and critical approaches exploring the interdisciplinary field of ecopoetics. Glossaries and cross-references will facilitate the volume's usefulness alongside its' global, interdisciplinary breadth to establish The Routledge Companion to Ecopoetics as a landmark textbook and reference for a variety of researchers and students"-- Provided by publisher.

This book explores the range of ecocriticism. Purposefully it swerves into advocacy, anthropology, bioregionalism, environmental history, politics, rhetoric, visual arts, and other neglected areas that make for freer theorizing and more original critical designs.

Thucydides' attention to natural phenomena, such as the plague, volcanoes, earthquakes, eclipses and floods, is well known. These are uncontrollable events that typically cause enormous environmental, political and military disturbance, further heightening the unpredictability and destructiveness of a war that, from the outset, is characterised as a great movement (kinesis megiste). But it is not only catastrophic natural phenomena that pique the Athenian historian's interest. As we aim to demonstrate in this study, nature and natural phenomena impose themselves as active forces that are superior to man, interfering in the Peloponnesian War with significant political consequences. On the other hand, the bellicose actions of man impose themselves upon nature with grave environmental costs.

The flourishing of literature on ecosystem services testifies to an increase in awareness of the extent to which economic operations of human societies is due to "natural" factors, so far considered as mere marginal conditions. However, this analysis appears to be flawed by an excessive of economism. It is limited to the evaluation of the effects and does not dive into the ecological relationships between community and environment. After introducing the concept of eco-territorial services, this section traces the coordinates of a more mature discussion of this topic, with important repercussions on land use planning.
