Talk about spirits you unbearable coward. Also at one point she’s like: does mercury cause autism?
A reasonably accessible academic study of the way we have historically perceived the divide between man and matter. Most people won't read this for fun, but as far as class assignments go, it's interesting.

A beautifully written and well-argumented book about how we should view reality and ourselves within it.

I started reading this while working on my master's thesis, and it didn't end up being helpful for me then. I've only just recently finished it, and I thought it was fine. There are definitely some interesting ideas in here, but I think reading excerpts rather than the entire book will probably be more useful for most people. Just stick to the first two to three chapters or so and you'll get the gist.
I do agree with other reviewers that the total focus on western philosophers and lack of inclusion of indigenous scholarship hurts the book considerably. This is an especially glaring omission for me after having read Braiding Sweetgrass, which engages with similar lines of scholarship as well.

Critiqued for good reason (namely lack of First Nations knowledges and consideration) but I have to admit listening to the audiobook at the Man Ray exhibition in Genoa was transcendental
This book genuinely felt like the stone that Sisyphus was rolling uphill and it flattened me. I rarely have to pull up a dictionary when reading theory because most scholars define their concepts well enough, but I feel like this is a great example of chronic thesaurus-itis. What is the point of publishing a book with the most inaccessible and gatekeepy language possible?
