"Thinking about animals..." book on Rowman webpage: Blurb, contributors

Lexington Books, an imprint of Rowman & Littlefield, has now published a page online on our forthcoming book Thinking about Animals in the Age of the Anthropocene. For now, the page presents the book´s blurb, Table of Contents, and three endorsements, and lists the editors and contributors.

Blurb:

The term “Anthropocene”, the era of mankind, is increasingly being used as a scientific designation for the current geological epoch. This is because the human species now dominates ecosystems worldwide, and affects nature in a way that rivals natural forces in magnitude and scale. Thinking about Animals in the Age of the Anthropocene presents a dozen chapters that address the role and place of animals in this epoch characterized by anthropogenic (human-made) environmental change. While some chapters describe our impact on the living conditions of animals, others question conventional ideas about human exceptionalism, and stress the complex cognitive and other abilities of animals. The Anthropocene idea forces us to rethink our relation to nature and to animals, and to critically reflect on our own role and place in the world, as a species. Nature is not what it was. Nor are the lives of animals as they used to be before mankind´s rise to global ecological prominence. Can we eventually learn to live with animals, rather than causing extinction and ecological mayhem?

CRIStin reporting for 2015 - 34 entries

Today I made registrations of academic activities in 2015 in CRIStin, the Current Research Information System In Norway. 34 activities altogether, down 2 from 2014. In total I have made 120 registrations since I started reporting to Cristin in 2012.

I expect 2,80 publication points for 2015. It could have been 1 more, if I had remembered to propose Chinese Semiotic Studies as a publication channel within the deadline November 30th last year (I thought I did).

Here is my profile in CRIStin.

Now i10 index of 3 in Google Scholar, 99 citations

In Google Scholar (see my profile), I am now listed with 99 citations, an i10 index of 3 and a h-index of 5. This implies that 3 of my publications have been cited at least 10 times, and that 5 (actually, 7) of my articles have been cited 5 times each.

The count presented by Google Scholar is not entirely accurate, since it on one hand includes several self-citations, and on another does not include several citations I have found through other channels.

The figure below shows the number of citations by year in Google Scholar, with 2015 representing a peak so far with 36 citations.

The third article to reach 10 citations, after "Umwelt ethics" (2003, now 20) and "Umwelt transitions: Uexküll and environmental change" (2009, now 16), was "Steps to a semiotics of being" (2010).
