Summary:
The
Human
Age
is an intrepid exploration of the new geological
epoch
in which
we
now find ourselves: the
Anthropocene
. Defined as the
Age
of Man, this is the
epoch
in which
human
beings have become the driving forces that mould, transform and destroy Earth. Where natural occurrences once controlled
climate
, geology and the genesis and demise of species, humankind now holds the reins. Bringing together scientific theory, political argument, philosophical questioning and our deepest fears and hopes for the future, The
Human
Age
explores this new
age
through informative and compelling text, and astounding photographs of the impact of
human
life on Earth. Powerful graphics depict the changing nature of the landscape and the very bedrock of our planet, and the destruction of ancient systems and environments that is resulting in global upheaval and
climate
breakdown. Creating a visual and written timeline of the
age
of
human
domination, The
Human
Age
reveals
how
this era was born, the ways in which it is impacting us and our planet now, and the outlook for the future.
