The property—a brownfield site bisected with an abandoned petroleum pipeline and littered with concrete debris and landfill trash—was an unlikely site for a home. Along with his son, Brown had explored similar empty lots around Austin, so-called “ruined” spaces once used for agriculture and industry awaiting their redevelopment as Austin became a 21st century boom town.

They’re even paid billions of pounds of public money to be good stewards. But what happens when they just don’t care?

In Residual Governance, Gabrielle Hecht dives into the wastes of gold and uranium mining in South Africa to explore how communities, experts, and artists fight for infrastructural and environmental justice. Hecht outlines how mining in South Africa is a prime example of what she theorizes as residual governance—the governance of waste and discard, governance that is purposefully inefficient, and governance that treats people and places as waste and wastelands.

Знали ли вы, что деревья умеют дружить, обниматься и общаться между собой? Что они предупреждают друг друга о нападениях, засухах и прочих опасностях. Что мир леса — это социальная сеть, невероятно похожая на человеческие семьи.

Эта книга обязательна к прочтению каждому, кто интересуется устройством природы, а после ее прослушивания прогулка по лесу уже никогда не будет прежней.
