As planners and designers have turned their attentions to the blighted, vacant areas of the city, the concept of terrain vague , has become increasingly important. Terrain Vague seeks to explore the ambiguous spaces of the city -- the places that exist outside the cultural, social, and economic circuits of urban life. https://www.routledge.com/ Terrain-Vague-Interstices- at-the-Edge-of-the-Pale/ BARRON-Mariani/p/book/978041 5827683?srsltid=AfmBOoqzfqWQ Wj6VU2ZSOUT _ GMMUOH7d38duqh- dOU5IueucgVbBY2whB
Austere Gardens suggests another way to look at the landscape, the garden, and perhaps the entire world around us. It suggests that being open to other ways of observing and sensing can yield new insights and rewards, and that interest is found in places unassuming and overlooked as well as those complex and assertive. https://www.dukeupress. edu/pollution-is- colonialism

Deep below the ground in Tucson, Arizona, lies an aquifer forever altered by the detritus of a postwar Superfund site. Disabled Ecologies tells the story of this contamination and its ripple effects through the largely Mexican American community living above. Drawing on her own complex relationship to this long-ago injured landscape, Sunaura Taylor takes us with her to follow the site’s disabled ecology—the networks of disability, both human and wild, that are created when ecosystems are corrupted and profoundly altered. https://www.ucpress.edu/books/ disabled-ecologies/hardcover

Janice Gurney’s paintings based on the sixteen translations of The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, Book 10.17 that have been published since 1634. Instead of focusing on the nuances of the translator’s words, as one might expect, Gurney looks at the differences in punctuation.
As human-induced environmental change threatens multispecies livability, Arts of Living on a Damaged Planet puts forward a bold proposal: entangled histories, situated narratives, and thick descriptions offer urgent ‘arts of living’. https://www.upress.umn. edu/9781517902377/arts- of-living-on-a-damaged- planet/
