Review Winner of the 2016 Victor Turner Prize in Ethnographic Writing, Society for Humanistic AnthropologyWinner of the 2016 Gregory Bateson Prize, The Society for Cultural AnthropologyFinalist for the 2016 Northern California Book Awards in General Nonfiction, Northern California Book ReviewersOne of Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction Books of 2015 in Business and EconomicsOne of Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction Books of 2015 in ScienceOne of Flavorwire’s 10 Best Books by Academic Publishers in 2015One of Times Higher Education’s Best Books of 2015Highly original. . . . This book brilliantly turns the commerce and ecology of this most rare mushroom into a modern parable of post-industrial survival and environmental renewal.---Peter D Smith, The GuardianThere’s a double meaning to Tsing’s title. The mushroom is at the end of the known world because it’s hard to find, a secret tucked deep in the forest. But she’s also hinting at the end of the world as we know it, given our instinct for extracting as much from the earth as we can. Humanity has never seemed so finely calibrated and rationalized: the seamless journey of a very expensive mushroom from nature to a dinner plate tells this story.---Hua Hsu, New YorkerEvolves into a well-researched and thought-provoking meditation on capitalism, resilience, and survival.---E. Ce Miller, Bustle This was a year of many of books about the Anthropocene--the name now frequently invoked to describe an era of incalculable human impact on geological and ecological conditions. Few of these books are as focused and useful as Tsings, which follows the supply chain of the Matsutake, the most valuable mushroom in the world, through ‘Japanese gourmets, capitalist traders, Hmong jungle fighters, industrial forests, Yi Chinese goat herders, Finnish nature guides, and more. How else to negotiate the conditions--if there are any--for our survival?---Jonathan Sturgeon, FlavorwireA fascinating account of the biology, ecology, genetics and anthropology of the worlds most valued mushroom.---Louise O. Fresco, Times Higher EducationA poetic and remarkably fertile exploration of the relationship between human beings and the natural environment, and what can still be done to stem its rapid deterioration.---Pankaj Mishra, The GuardianA beautiful, humble book. . . . [A]nthropology at its best.---Darwin Bond Graham, East Bay Express[Tsing] writes clearheaded prose with an ear for lyrical phrases. . . . [The Mushroom at the End of the World] is a wonderful meditation on how humans shape and distort the natural landscape, and in return, are shaped and distorted by a wildness of their own making.---Casey Sanchez, Santa Fe New MexicanTsings extraordinary book provides an intimate account of the ecology of the matsutake and the work of the pickers, entrepreneurs and gourmets who bring it into the global economy. As such, The Mushroom at the End of the World is about much more than mushrooms. This is a book, perhaps above all, about the experience of living in precarious times and about life at the edges or in the cracks of the world system of capitalism. . . . A remarkable and elegantly conceived book that well rewards close attention.---John Miller, Green Letters: Studies in Ecocriticism[An] extraordinary book.---Jim Igoe, American AnthropologistThe publisher can really be congratulated. Rarely can one immerse oneself into an academic work with informative and sensuous pictures and figures that set a pace and allow the reader to explore the senses of smelling, grabbing, searching and walking. Tsings book is not a conclusive analysis of post-capitalist processes but an outline for living sensuously, creatively and freely with each other.---Jenni Molkaken, Suomen Antropologi: Journal of the Finnish Anthropological SocietyThe anthropologist Anna Tsing joins a range of scholars exploring the ongoing devastation of our environment and undoing the old binary of ‘nature and ‘soci
