Matsutake is the most valuable mushroom in the world – and a weed that grows in human-disturbed forests across the northern hemisphere. Through its ability to nurture trees, matsutake helps forests to grow in daunting places. It is also an edible delicacy in Japan, where it sometimes commands astronomical prices. In all its contradictions, matsutake offers insights into areas far beyond just mushrooms and addresses a crucial question: what manages to live in the ruins we have made? A tale of diversity within our damaged landscapes, The Mushroom at the End of the World follows one of the strangest commodity chains of our times to explore the unexpected corners of capitalism. Here, we witness the varied and peculiar worlds of matsutake commerce: the worlds of Japanese gourmets, capitalist traders, Hmong jungle fighters, industrial forests, Yi Chinese goat herders, Finnish nature guides, and more. These companions also lead us into fungal ecologies and forest histories to better understand the promise of cohabitation in a time of massive human destruction. By investigating one of the world's most sought-after fungi, The Mushroom at the End of the World presents an original examination into the relation between capitalist destruction and collaborative survival within multispecies landscapes, the prerequisite for continuing life on earth.

Ursula K. Le Guin's Always Coming Home is a major work of the imagination from one of America's most respected writers. More than five years in creation, it is a novel unlike any other. A rich and complex interweaving of story and fable, poem, artwork, and music, it totally immerses the reader in the culture of the Kesh, a peaceful people of the far future who inhabit a place called the Valley on the Northern Pacific Coast. The author makes the inhabitants of the valley as familiar, as immediate, as wholly human as our own friends or family. Spiraling outward from the dramatic life story of a woman called Stone Telling, Le Guin's Always Coming Home interweaves wry wit, deep insight and extraordinary compassion into a compelling unity of vision.

Poluição de rios, embriões congelados, buraco de ozônio, robôs munidos de sensores. O que explica o sentimento de pavor que eles causam? Os modernos não pararam de criar objetos híbridos sobre os quais se recusam a pensar. O antropólogo e filósofo Bruno Latour estuda a construção ideológica da modernidade e defende a tese de que o homem, até mesmo aquele que se autodenomina pós-moderno, mal chegou a ser moderno.

Apocalyptic Witchcraft gives a compelling and profound account of the Sabbat and Wild Hunt as living experiences. These are the core of our ritual practice. Dream, lunar and, critically, menstrual magic are explored as a path to this knowledge. The wolf, the Devil, and the Goddess of witchcraft are then encountered in a landscape that ultimately reveals the witch to her or himself. These are not separate threads, but arise from a deep mythic structure and are woven together into a single unifying vision. Alternating between polemic, poetic and ecstatic prose, an harmonious course is revealed in a sequence of elegant stratagems. The book is threaded together with a cycle of hymns to Inanna, pearls on the tapestry of night. Seemingly disparate aspects are joined into a vision which is neither afraid of blessing nor curse. This is a daring undertaking, born from both urgency and need. It offers a renewed sense of purpose and meaning for a witchcraft that has seen many of its treasured ideas about itself destroyed. An apocalyptic age demands an Apocalyptic Witchcraft, and this is a book which is offered up to revolutionise the body of the craft, a way out of the dark impasse.

Nestas mais de 1500 tiras publicadas entre 2004 e 2015 e reunidas pela primeira vez em livro, temos o privilégio de seguir a evolução artística que confirma a carreira da artista Laerte como das mais interessantes nos quadrinhos do mundo. Laerte já tinha mais de três décadas de cartunismo e era uma das profissionais mais festejadas do Brasil quando decidiu reinventar tudo. Por volta de 2004, sua tira Piratas do Tietê abandonou os personagens recorrentes e os arremates cômicos para explorar o espaço daqueles três, quatro quadrinhos com uma mistura de filosofia, metafísica, poesia, poucas certezas e muitas dúvidas. Piratas virou o Manual do Minotauro e entramos, junto a Laerte, no labirinto do ser mitológico. O desenho é o mesmo, exato na economia. O jogo entre nanquim, cor, forma e quadros ainda é referência de design. O texto continua enxuto, preciso. A narrativa é claríssima. Mas ao mesmo tempo, algo vibra por baixo da aparente simplicidade. Deixem toda lógica e ordem cotidiana do lado de fora e preparem-se para uma das grandes aventuras do quadrinho contemporâneo.
