Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

We have seen an overwhelming human impact on the world, subtle, sweeping, and exceeding the realms of nature affecting all aspect of life. Water, Animals, Birds, Atmospheres. It plays a role in the marginal worlds that we live in and pushes the lives of species to Extinction.

What is a "micro-landscape"? It is a visual, textual and moving mesh taking you through the inter-connected worlds of the margins, plants, animals, atmospheres and extinctions that make up a snap-shot of the Anthropocene.
Feel your way through as a co-contributor of this book whose guiding principle is ecological thinking and new concept creation.
Become imaginated! Let us miracularize the world with our sea-reading, seeding new ways of looking at the world that cede anthropocentric perspectives.
