Some of the most dangerous places on earth for humans are paradoxically providing safe havens for wildlife, according to a new book by David Havlick, professor, Geography and Environmental Studies.<\/p>\n

In the book, \u201cBombs Away,\u201d Havlick details his research on military-to-wildlife transition sites around the world. Many of these are domestic installations are no longer useful to the military while others are international sites of militarization or weapons testing that have moved to new purposes. Europe\u2019s Iron Curtain borderlands now provides the core areas of an emergent European Green Belt that extends from the Black Sea to the Baltic Sea.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite the social and ecological devastation often generated by militarized borders and military testing and training, these activities may inadvertently contribute to environmental objectives in ways that challenge how we think about conservation and militarization,\u201d Havlick said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBombs Away\u201d explores how military activities, conservation goals, and ecological restoration efforts are made to work together to create new kinds of places and new conceptions of place.<\/p>\n

\u201cHavlick\u2019s scholarship is refreshing, as it reflects a genuine curiosity and openness to exploring this apparent paradox,\u201d said Kate McCaffrey, Montclair State University, in a review of the book. \u201cConnecting to theoretical discussions of nature and society, wilderness, public land management, and defense policy, this book should have broad appeal to scholars and students of geography, anthropology, sociology, and environmental studies.\u201d<\/p>\n

The book was published in April 2018 by The University of Chicago Press and is available for purchase<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
