Glenn Albrecht's important new book gives names to the experiences of life in the Anthropocene; the repertoire of 'Earth emotions' that have been called out of us by the plight of the planet. A remarkable work of interdisciplinary philosophy that unites eco-linguistics and story-telling, this open-hearted, sharp-minded book not only diagnoses what Kristeva once called our 'new maladies of the soul', but shows us a way to escape them; by moving out of the Anthropocene and into the Symbiocene.

Glenn Albrecht's vision is at once realistic and contagiously optimistic. Through unique language, he names the heart-breaking loss we feel as nature gets pummeled. Yet our senses open and our smiles re-emerge as we recognize that such destruction can be the catalyst for the evolution of human consciousness. This book is a manifesto for a new Earth.

Earth Emotions is thorough, composed, and historically illuminative. Grounded and powerful in its message, this book helps explain in an accessible way the history of Earth emotion neologisms and the relationships of land and psyche.
Jules Pretty
Glenn A. Albrecht has written a superb book, one that is hugely novel, insightful, and rewarding. Everything in this book matters.

Glenn Albrecht is one of the most important eco-philosophers of our time, though the term 'eco-philosopher' may be too narrow. He is also a map-maker: he names the roads ahead, the dead-ends, the detours, and potential destinations. And, unlike so many scientists, he does not describe those roads only with numbers, but with a new language of emotions — those now emerging from the tragedy and the possibility of the Earth.
