Fiery flint and weeping marble, hairy mandrakes and ardent monkeys, flayed skins and inky parchments, chimp-like sheep and one-eyed cows: these are among the quirky and vibrant actors assembled in this exciting and timely new volume. In search of Renaissance posthumanism, the authors examine unfamiliar archives in response to current environmental and technological urgencies, and their inventive and thoughtful readings will spur new lines of inquiry. -Julia Reinhard Lupton, University of California, Irvine
