Sensoria will broaden the moral imaginations of its readers and challenge conventional worldviews about human relations to the nonhuman world.After a conversation, reading, and Q&A with the Humans & Nature Press team, including co-editor Gavin Van Horn and local writers from Sensoria, we will mingle and they will be signing books.Refreshments will be available for all and books will be for purchase if you choose not to purchase a ticket with a copy of the book included.About the BookHumans, along with all other creatures, are an entanglement of sensual relations, shaping and shaped by our somatic engagement with the world.The essays and poetry of Sensoria transport readers into compelling stories and ethical reflections that stretch the limits of the moral imagination, calling attention to the wondrous ways in which humans and other-than-human beings experience and perceive the world, not just through the senses but within them.By exploring the sensorium among all forms of life endowed with different kinds of consciousness and communicative abilities, this volume highlights ecologically and socially diverse ways of touching the world with mind, and touching mind with the world.The sensory faculties are inherently about the capability of paying attention to other beings and forces that share our planet and whose lives are interwoven with our own.For each of the five senses, the contributors to Sensoria--including music composer David Rothenberg, historian of color Carolyn Purnell, bio-philosopher Andreas Weber, filmmaker Kalyanee Mam, neuroethologist Bill Hansson, travel writer and novelist Nick Hunt, and religious scholar Graham Harvey--explore and illuminate the biology and neurology of sensation as well as the imaginative possibilities for understanding the senses.This timely volume offers readers new ways of understanding relations in everyday encounters that link our inner and outer awareness--embodied experiences that shape what we see, hear, touch, taste, and smell, and the way these perceptions can help us to attend more closely and respectfully to the lifeworlds of other-than-human creatures.About the Center for Humans & NatureThe Center for Humans & Nature is home to a press and a farm that explore in-depth and diverse perspectives about what it means to be human in an interconnected world. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/libertyville/sensoria-attending-to-the-wonder-and-vitality-of-nature-book-launch-event/100001996531473382 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, contests - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour - Location: About Time Bookstore - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 6.24, max: 40.95, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Libertyville - **state**: IL - **country**: United States - **location**: About Time Bookstore - **lat**: 42.28844970000001 - **long**: -87.9542534 - **full address**: About Time Bookstore, 528 Milwaukee Avenue, Libertyville, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Sensoria: Attending to the Wonder & Vitality of Nature - Book Launch Event - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/c79f134958462de31e29a419618b0c030418cbbe008e58b88a5315ddfe2ad31a-rimg-w1200-h600-dc283818-gmir.jpg?v=1786696985 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Sensoria: Attending to the Wonder & Vitality of Nature - Book Launch Event being held? - **A:** Sensoria: Attending to the Wonder & Vitality of Nature - Book Launch Event takes place on Tue, 08 Sep, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Tue, 08 Sep, 2026 at 07:00 pm at About Time Bookstore, 528 Milwaukee Avenue, Libertyville, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Sensoria: Attending to the Wonder & Vitality of Nature - Book Launch Event? - **A:** Sensoria: Attending to the Wonder & Vitality of Nature - Book Launch Event is organized by About Time Bookstore. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
