Each essay in this book describes a remarkable instance of symbiotic mutualism: bobtail squid host glow-in-the-dark bacteria behind their eyes so they can camouflage with moonlight on the water; there is a surprisingly erotic encounter between ants and a rove beetle; beavers and willow trees together turn deserts to verdant wetlands; and many more. To read \u003ci\u003eHeld\u003c\/i\u003e is to be reminded of one's humanity and of our interconnectedness with the world that surrounds us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarabande Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/11\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781956046472\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.20w x 0.60d","brand":"Kathryn Nuernberger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730179981493,"sku":"9781956046472","price":16.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_c671748a-70a7-484e-ab3d-caec2fc4d76a.jpg?v=1758004446","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/held-essays-in-belonging-9781956046472","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
