<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>This book considers issues of social and ecological significance through a masculinities lens. Earth - our home for aeons - is reeling. The atmosphere is heating up, causing reefs to bleach, fisheries to collapse, regions to flood and dry, vast tracts to burn, the polar ice caps to melt, ancient glaciers to retreat, biodiversity to decline exacerbated by the sixth great extinction, and more. Meanwhile, social and economic disparities are widening. Pandemics are cauterising glocal communities and altering our social mores. Nationalism is feeding divisiveness and hate, especially through men's violence. Politically extreme individuals and groups are exalting freedom while scapegoating the marginalised. Such are the symptoms of an emerging (m)Anthropocene. This anthology contends with these alarming trends, pointing our attention towards their gendered origins. Building on our monograph <i>Ecological Masculinities: Theoretical Foundations and Practical Guidance</i> (2018), this collection of essays is framed as a dinner party conversation grouped into six discursive themes. Their views reflect a growing community of practice, whose combined efforts capture the most recent perspectives on masculine ecologisation. Together, they aim to help create a more caring world for all, moving the ecological masculinities conversation forward as it becomes an established, international, and pluralised field of study.<br></p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>This book acknowledges that around the globe, humanity is similarly mistreating members of our own species and the Earth. The gap between rich and poor is increasing and anthropogenic pressures on the Earth's living systems are now so high that scientists discuss the consequences of a 2<sup>o</sup>C global temperature increase and a sixth mass extinction of species as telling justification for an emerging 'Anthropocene'. This volume stresses that such alarming trends are the consequence of 'industrial masculinities', which compel both women and men (who are the prime beneficiaries of industrialisation and are its primary proponents) to view and use the Earth's resources for personal benefit at great ecological costs (Hultman, forthcoming). In alignment with some feminists and ecofeminist scholars, the contributors to this volume understand the problems at-hand to be largely the result of patriarchal or 'malestream' norms<br>This book will provide an in-depth exploration of the intertwined aspects of Men and Nature. In doing so, the book calls forth the need for a pluralised conversation on how men and masculine identities - especially in the modern West - might adopt greater care for self and all others, both conceptually and in practice. <br>Assoc.
