| Summary |
"Earth, Ice, Bone, Blood presents a meditative engagement with permafrost as more than just frozen ground. Wrigley considers how permafrost and its disappearance redefines extinction to be a lack of continuity, both material and social, and something that affects not only life on earth but nonlife, too"-- Provided by publisher. |
