Taken together, these chapters offer a lucid and provocative exploration of the strategies that we employed to come to terms with and make sense of our altered landscapes. A must-read for anyone interested in understanding the archeology of the strategies we employed during a period we are still living through but have yet to fully comprehend.\"\u003c\/p\u003e -- Margaret Tally, State University of New York, Empire State College\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"COVID-19 happens to start with a C, and its changes also start the creativity, coping, connection, community, and comfort that people experienced (sought) in persevering during the pandemic, all of which is memorialized in this timely book.
