Making the Most of the Anthropocene – Facing the Future
Autor Mark Dennyen Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 aug 2017
In Making the Most of the Anthropocene, scientist Mark Denny tackles this hard truth head-on and considers burning questions: How did we reach our present technological and ecological state? How are we going to cope with our uncertain future? Will we come out of this, or are we doomed as a species? Is there anything we can do about what happens next? This book
- explains what the Anthropocene is and why it is important
- offers suggestions for minimizing harm instead of fretting about an impending environmental apocalypse
- combines easy-to-grasp scientific, technological, economic, and anthropological analyses
In Making the Most of the Anthopocene, there are no equations, no graphs, and no impenetrable jargon. Instead, you'll find a fascinating cast of characters, including journalists from outer space, peppered moths, and unjustly maligned Polynesians. In his bright, lively voice, Denny envisions a future that balances reaction and reason, one in which humanity emerges bloody but unbowed--and in which those of us who are prepared can make the most of the Anthropocene.
