- Animate Planet is the product of eight years of ethnographic and historical research in three countries (Japan, India, and the United States). Each of the book's five chapters presents a case study that draws on a distinct body of literature, including many Japanese-language sources. Research for the book involved extensive consultation of manuscripts pertaining to 'embodied empiricism' in the British Library and Wellcome Collection; transcriptions of accounts collected during fieldwork; technical documents on climate, nuclear power, and water treatment; government regulations on food and energy production; and scholarship across multiple fields (anthropology, history, environmental studies, and science and technology studies).
