Do you yearn to find the real meaning to life or an inner peace that is true? Are you fed up with wearing a mask? Is life really getting you down? That is exactly where Colin Murray was just a few years ago. He invites you to travel with him through his life while he paints a vivid picture, reflecting on his childhood in Scotland, describing his happy, at times haphazard, life in the North East coastal town of Portsoy. He shares his experiences, going beyond the ‘safety’ of home, in search of personal fulfilment. You will witness him wearing an assortment of stereotypical hats: the hat of the wise-cracking bar fly, the guilt-ridden wrongdoer, the compulsive business builder, passionate protagonist, and even the wronged dupe. He admits that attempting to explain his personal quest for the truth has been extremely difficult, because so much of his journey involves those mystical inner feelings that lie beyond the horizon of words.The complicated paths and winding roads we follow are vast and varied, but we all reach a time in our lives when we want to know, at the deepest level, if our existence and our Soul are compatible. This book simply chronicles the quest for this fundamental truth.

In Moving Environments: Affect, Emotion, Ecology, and Film, international scholars investigate how films portray human emotional relationships with the more-than-human world and how such films act upon their viewers’ emotions. Emotion and affect are the basic mechanisms that connect us to our environment, shape our knowledge, and motivate our actions. Contributors explore how film represents and shapes human emotion in relation to different environments and what role time, place, and genre play in these affective processes. Individual essays resituate well-researched environmental films such as An Inconvenient Truth and March of the Penguins by paying close attention to their emotionalizing strategies, and bring to our attention the affective qualities of films that have so far received little attention from ecocritics, such as Stan Brakhage’s Dog Star Man. The collection opens a new discursive space at the disciplinary intersection of film studies, affect studies, and a growing body of ecocritical scholarship. It will be of interest not only to scholars and students working in the field of ecocriticism and the environmental humanities, but for everyone with an interest in our emotional responses to film.
