Beskrivning
'The Anthropocene' is one of the most important scientific concepts of our time. It is also one of the most contested. This book offers the most advanced yet accessible introduction to the complex and often heated debates about the meaning, nature, and implications of the Anthropocene.Drawing on the work of physical and human geographers, alongside geographically-informed contributions from natural and physical scientists, sociologists, historians, anthropologists, philosophers, and others, this book maps and critically evaluates the implications of the Anthropocene for the discipline of Geography and for geographical thinking across other fields. It asks: Does the Anthropocene mark the start of the greatest environmental crisis in history? Which humans are most responsible? What impacts is it having on human well-being and the natural world? What needs to be done to mitigate its threats, and who will bear the costs? How does ‘the Anthropocene’ challenge the conduct of research, policy, and activism around issues like environmental justice, resilience, nature conservation, or decolonisation? Is 'the Anthropocene' even the best name for this new age?Essential reading for university students and researchers in Geography and beyond, this book also appeals to general readers interested in understanding how human actions are reshaping the Earth and what this means for the future of people and planet.

Recensioner i media

“Martin Mahony and Noel Castree have achieved something extremely difficult: writing a book on a topic that is as relevant and timely as it is fraught with controversy - doing so in a way that is accessible and comprehensive, yet not superficial. The Anthropocene is destined to become essential reading for geographers and non-geographers alike.”Marcelo Lopes de Souza, Professor of Environmental Geography and Political Ecology at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil“Martin Mahony and Noel Castree’s The Anthropocene is a truly outstanding book that showcases the value and importance of geographic thought today. Its engagement with both physical and human geographic research on the Anthropocene is deep in detail and broad in scope. Readers are left with a deep understanding of how the Anthropocene has figured in geographic thought, and an excellent sense of how geographers have contributed to Anthropocene debates. The Anthropocene is a must-have book that will be an essential reference guide and teaching tool for many years.”Kevin J. Grove, Professor of Human Geography, Florida International University
