Ogden considers a wide range of people, animal, and objects together as a way to catalog the ways environmental change and colonial history are entangled in the Fuegian Archipelago of southernmost Chile and Argentina.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“One of the most brilliant and compelling aspects of this beautiful little book is Laura A. Ogden's voice. A woman's seasoned, feminist, highly attuned and tuned, expertly lived voice, it leads us graciously into a critical world of wonder and loss—a collective looking around at what could have been and might still be. \u003ci\u003eLoss and Wonder at the World's End\u003c\/i\u003e is sharply, fiercely loving. It teaches us to live and think differently. This is a masterful, inspiring, wholly original work.” -- Kathleen Stewart, coauthor of * The Hundreds *\u003cbr\u003e“In its freshness of vision, its first-person mode of presentation, its openheartedness, and its scattering of materials in delicate montages, \u003ci\u003eLoss and Wonder at the World's End\u003c\/i\u003e is such fun to read. Laura A. Ogden's persistent view of history throughout the text as multivalent, dense, and mysterious is wonderful.” -- Michael T. Taussig, author of * Mastery of Non-mastery in the Age of Meltdown *\u003cbr\u003e\"Ogden’s book is a nonlinear presentation, a meticulously articulated variety of thought on the Fuegian world. It is many stories well told that continue evolving, and although its academic style is not always attractive to lay audiences, \u003ci\u003eLoss and Wonder at the World’s End\u003c\/i\u003e is a highly recommended, fun to read book for those interested in world boundaries, what lies beyond them, and their place within the legacy of imperialism.\" -- Yoly Zentella * Journal of Global South Studies *\u003cbr\u003e\"The book could be very useful in an introduction to environmental anthropology, cultural anthropology, or regional history. The volume is well produced, and the photographs are abundant, well-chosen, and thought provoking. I learned a variety of specific things, was reminded of others in new contexts, and laughed out loud (in a good way) at still others.\" -- John H.
