The Anthropocene and the Global Environmental Crisis: Rethinking modernity in a new epoch

Edited by Clive Hamilton, François Gemenne, Christophe Bonneuil, this book captures some of the radical new thinking prompted by the arrival of the Anthropocene and opens up the social sciences and humanities to the profound meaning of the new geological epoch, the ‘Age of Humans’

It explores the challenges and difficult questions posed by the convergence of geological and human history to the foundational ideas of modern social science. It presents a discussion on the kinds of narratives are emerging around the scientific idea of the new geological epoch, and　what it means for the ‘politics of unsustainability.'

The book is published by the Taylor & Francis group.
