Ecology, soils, and the Left: an ecosocial approach

Abstract

This work is a confluence of numerous conversations and discussions, at times surging with serendipitous chance occurrences. It is an effort that has involved the direct and indirect contributions of a very large number of people. Inevitably, I will fail to thank everyone who has helped me along the way and so I hope they will accept my apologies. First and foremost, I am profusely thankful to Deborah and Ezra Engel-Di Mauro, whose support and encouragement enabled me to have the time and to sustain the mental aptitude to research and write and, thanks to their prompting, to find more appropriate and clearer ways of expressing myself.
