The encyclopedia of trouble and spaciousness / Rebecca Solnit. by Solnit, Rebecca. Trinity University Press, [2014] Call #: 814.6 S688e Subjects Social history.   Justice.   War -- History.   Peace.   Communities.   American essays -- 21st century.   Essays -- 21st century. ISBN:  9781595341983 1595341986 Description:  325 p. : ill., maps ; 24 cm. Notes:  Maps on endpapers. Includes index. Summary:  "The incomparable Rebecca Solnit, author of more than a dozen acclaimed books of nonfiction, brings the same dazzling writing to the twenty-nine essays in The Encyclopedia of Trouble and Spaciousness. As the title suggests, the territory of Solnit's concerns is vast, and in her signature alchemical style she combines commentary on history, justice, war and peace, and explorations of place, art, and community, all while writing with the lyricism of a poet to achieve incandescence and wisdom. Gathered here are celebrated iconic essays along with little-known pieces that create a powerful survey of the world we live in. In its encyclopedic reach and its generous compassion, Solnit's collection charts a way through the thickets of our complex social and political worlds. Like the women who've pioneered before her -- Sontag, Didion, and Dillard -- her essays are a beacon. "--Provided by publisher. Genre:  Essays.
