CONTRIBUTORS Paul Chaney Iain Hamilton Grant Kenna Hernly Shaun Lewin James Strongman This book provides a first case study in post-‘site-specific’ geophilosophy. Based on a weird field trip into Cornwall’s mining heartlands with geologists, philosophers and ecologists as guides, it drills down through nature, industry, and cultural capital to site the local within the global, unfolding the telluric plots that manipulated populations and devastated the landscape during the industrial age, thus providing a historical portrait of geotrauma in action. As well as documentation of the trip, the book also contains exegetical materials including an essay by Reza Negarestani and a poem by Jake Chapman.
