Dark Mountain - Terra

Abstract

Terra Non Firma
This book maps a world in a state of radical shift. As rising sea levels alter the outlines of continents, as islands, forests and ice caps vanish and deserts and urban edgelands spread, as landmarks familiar for thousands of years are literally wiped off the map (and new ones take their place), how do we locate ourselves and find our directions onward? How do we find permanence when the terra is shifting under our feet?
This book brings you over 60 writers and artists, with stories and images from six continents. We come not as conquistador mapmakers but as bearers of small dispatches. We are travellers meeting in troubled times, exchanging tales so we might navigate this new and ancient terra and know that we do not face the future alone.
