With essays by leading scientists, it highlights the growing consensus that our planet entered a dangerous new state in the mid-twentieth century. Second, it gets the Anthropocene right in human terms, bringing together a range of leading authors to explore, in fiction and non-fiction, our deep past, global conquest, inequality, nuclear disasters, and space travel. Finally, this landmark collection ends by presenting what hope might look like in this seemingly hopeless situation, proposing new political forms and mutualistic cities. "Right" in this book means being as accurate as possible in describing the physical phenomenon of the Anthropocene; as balanced as possible in weighing the complex human developments, some willed and some unintended, that led to this predicament; and as just as possible in envisioning potential futures"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 00 $g 12. $t Afterword / $g 1. $t Science: Old and New Patterns of the Anthropocene / $r Jurgen Renn and Christoph Rosol. $g 2. $t Humanities and Social Sciences: Human Stories and the Anthropocene Earth System / $r Julia Adeney Thomas -- $g Part two. $t One Anthropocene; many stories -- $g 3. $t Earth System Science: Gravity, the Earth System, and the Anthropocene / $r Will Steffen -- $g 4. $t Deep History and Disease: Germs and Humanity's Rise to Planetary Dominance / $r Kyle Harper -- $g 5. $t Anthropology: Colonialism, Indigeneily, and Wind Power in the Anthropocene / $r Cymene Howe and Dominic Boyer -- $g 6. $t The Ascent of the Anthropoi: A Story / $r Amitav Ghosh -- $g 7. $t Politics in the Anthropocene / $r Manuel Arias-Maldonado -- $g 8. $t Very Recent History and the Nuclear Anthropocene / $r Kate Brown -- $g 9. $t Stratigraphy: Finding Global Markers in a Small Canadian Lake / $r Francine McCarthy -- $g 10. $t Curating the Anthropocene at Berlin's Haus der Kulturen der Welt / $r Bernd Scherer -- $g Part three. $t Future habitations -- $g 11. $t Anthropocene Ethics, as Seen From a Mars Mission: A Story / $r Clive Hamilton -- $g 12. $t Mutualistic Cities of the Near Future / $r Mark Williams, Julia Adeney Thomas, Gavin Brown, Minal Pathak, Moya Burnsm Will Steffeb, John Clarkson, Jan Zalasiewicz -- $t Afterword / $r Jurgen Renn and Christoph Rosol. 650 0 $a Nature $x Effect of human beings on. 650 0 $a Human ecology. 650 0 $a Climatic changes $x Effect of human beings on. 650 0 $a Geology, Stratigraphic. 650 6 $a EÌtres humains $x Influence sur la nature. 650 6 $a EÌcologie humaine. 650 6 $a Climat $x Effets de l'homme sur. $x Effets de l'homme sur. 650 6 $a Stratigraphie. 650 7 $a human ecology. $2 aat 650 7 $a HISTORY / Historical Geography. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Climatic changes $x Effect of human beings on. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01766583 650 7 $a Geology, Stratigraphic. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00940727 650 7 $a Human ecology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00962941 650 7 $a Nature $x Effect of human beings on. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01034564 700 1 $a Thomas, Julia Adeney, $d 1958- $e editor. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781009050876 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718100400.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E9E95D6C214711EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
