Enamored by fictions of environmental sovereignty, we too often imagine \"human\" to be a solitary category of being. This collection of essays maps the heterogeneous and asymmetrical ecologies within which we are enmeshed, a material world that makes the human possible but also offers difficulties and resistance. Among the topics explored are the futurity that inheres in storms and wrecks, wood that resists its burning or offers art and dwelling, hymns that implant themselves like viruses, the ontology of everyday objects, the seep and flow of substance, the resistant nature of matter, the dependence of community upon making things public, and the interstices at which nature and culture become inseparable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTinker as you will.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTABLE OF CONTENTS \/\/ Jeffrey Jerome Cohen - Introduction: Ecostitial \/ Steve Mentz - Shipwreck \/ Anne Harris - Hewn \/ Alan Montroso - Human \/ Valerie Allen - Matter \/ Lowell Duckert - Recreation \/ Alfred Kentigern Siewers - Trees \/ James Smith - Fluid \/ Ian Bogost - Inhuman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJeffrey Jerome Cohen is Professor of English and director of the George Washington University Medieval and Early Modern Studies Institute.
