Book Description
Assessing the dawn of the Anthropocene era, a poet and philosopher asks: How do we live at the end of the world? The end of the Holocene era is marked not just by melting glaciers or epic droughts, but by the near universal disappearance of shared social enterprise: the ruling class builds walls and lunar shuttles, while the rest of us contend with the atrophy of institutional integrity and the utter abdication of providing even minimal shelter from looming disaster. The irony of the Anthropocene era is that, in a neoliberal culture of the self, it is forcing us to consider ourselves as a collective again. For those of us who are not wealthy enough to start a colony on Mars or isolate ourselves from the world, the Anthropocene ends the fantasy of sheer individualism and worldlessness once and for all. It introduces a profound sense of time and events after the so-called "end of history" and an entirely new approach to solidarity. How to Live at the End of the World is a hopeful exploration of how we might inherit the name "Anthropocene," renarrate it, and revise our way of life or thought in view of it. In his book on time, art, and politics in an era of escalating climate change, Holloway takes up difficult, unanswered questions in recent work by Donna Haraway, Kathryn Yusoff, Bruno Latour, Dipesh Chakrabarty, and Isabelle Stengers, sketching a path toward a radical form of democracy—a zoocracy, or, a rule of all of the living.

Book Description
"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."--Publisher's description.

Book Description
Mouse knew that the future was going to be hard. He knew that the happy-ever-after is rarely what it cracks up to be, but still; fresh out of prison and with all of the promises of a new life ahead of him; you could say he had everything to look forward to. The only problem was that the world ended shortly after that. In the days, weeks, and years that follow, Mouse has to learn how to survive in a post-apocalyptic world that is quickly crumbling into chaos around him. He has to learn how to navigate mad cultists, slavers, and even more importantly; the hazards of friendship. 'How to Live at the End of the World' is a story about loyalty, society, and about courage. It is a tale of one man's past, and what it takes to be redeemed from it. Through the course of this book in six exciting parts, Mouse is forced to decide what are the guiding principles to live by, in a world that is seemingly at its end. Highly speculative, 'How to Live' puts real people in unbelievable situations, offering the reader different visions of the future; some apocalyptic, and some utopian. How to Live pictures a world driven by events beyond its capacity to bear: from catastrophic climate change to social upheaval and technological collapse. What will Mouse risk to save his friends? What does it take to start over? When all else is taken away, what rules would you live by?

Book Description
Who Will Usher in Earth’s Final Days? Are we living in the end times? Is it possible that the players depicted in the book of Revelation could be out in force today? And if they are, would you know how to recognize them? In Agents of the Apocalypse, noted prophecy expert Dr. David Jeremiah does what no prophecy expert has done before. He explores the book of Revelation through the lens of its major players—the exiled, the martyrs, the elders, the victor, the king, the judge, the 144,000, the witnesses, the false prophet, and the beast. One by one, Dr. Jeremiah delves into their individual personalities and motives, and the role that each plays in biblical prophecy. Then he provides readers with the critical clues and information needed to recognize their presence and power in the world today. The stage is set, and the curtain is about to rise on Earth’s final act. Will you be ready?
