#GoodBooks – Newly featured in Charleston Good’s Bookshop
Check out our new FEATURED BOOK:
The Nutmeg’s Curse: Parables for a Planet in Crisis
Amitav Ghosh (Author)
“In Ghosh’s hands, the story of the nutmeg becomes a parable for our environmental crisis, revealing the ways human history has always been entangled with earthly materials such as spices, tea, sugarcane, opium, and fossil fuels. Our crisis, he shows, is ultimately the result of a mechanistic view of the earth, where nature exists only as a resource for humans to use for our own ends, rather than a force of its own, full of agency and meaning. “
