Congratulations to Christina Gerhardt and the University of California Press for winning the ASLE Book Award for Sea Change.
I reviewed this beautiful book awhile back and want reiterate what I wrote then: university presses and small presses have published some of the most creative and thought-provoking environmental literature I’ve read over the past few years.
And thanks for ASLE for maintaining this awards program.
