"This almanac is for those seeking new relations with land and water. It is for environmentalists sensitive to the tension between nature and human nature, for artists looking for perspectives on perspective, and activists transforming the present to make the future more habitable. Inside you will find personal and political excavations that manifest new futures. Use them as a guide to examine the tangled roots of historical contingencies, to cut the rot from existing paradigms, and to sow new habits and relations.” —excerpt from “Dear Readers"
