"Atlas of Material Worlds is a highly designed narrative atlas illustrating the agency
of non-living materials with unique, ubiquitous, and often hidden influence on our
daily lives. Employing New Materialism as a jumping off point, it examines the increasingly
blurry lines between the organic and inorganic, engaging the following questions:
What roles do non-living materials play? Might a closer examination of those roles
reveal an undeniable agency we have long overlooked or disregarded? If so, does this
material liveliness change our understanding of the social structures, ecologies,
economies, cosmologies, technologies, and landscapes that surround us? And, perhaps
most importantly, why does material agency matter? This is the story of the world's
driest nonpolar desert, pink flamingos, and cerulean blue lithium ponds; industrial
shipping logistics, pudding-like jiggling substrates, and monuments of mud; galactic
bodies, radioactive sheep, and the yellowcake of uranium. Put simply, this book dares
readers to see the world anew, from material up. Atlas of Material Worlds offers this
new relationship to our host environment in a time of mounting crises-accelerating
climate change, ballooning socioeconomic inequality, and rising toxic nationalism-uniquely
telling materialist stories for practitioners and students in landscape, architecture,
and other built environment disciplines"
