About the book
“Transect of Coexistence: Inquiry into Nature, Art, and Habitat” is edited by NATURE, ART & HABITAT (NAHR). It features approximately fifteen authors invited to write essays on the topic of eco-centric thinking. The authors come from a diverse range of disciplines and backgrounds and the book is structured into thematic chapters covering six topics: Woods, Rock & Stone, Water, Grasses & Pastures, Animals, and Soil.
The book is based on work and dialogues initiated at NAHR in Sottochiesa, Taleggio Valley, Italy, which brings together participants from around the world each year to reflect on an ecological theme. The book aims to provide a rigorous global framework for each chapter and includes essays on global and local perspectives.
The book includes more than 300 photographs and illustrations. The content is meant to be provocative and forward-looking, producing new scholarship and innovative works.
