We have entered the Anthropocene--the era of massive human impacts on the planet--and the actions of more than seven billion residents threaten to destabilize Earth's natural systems, with cascading consequences for human societies. In this extraordinary book, the authors combine the latest science with compelling storytelling and amazing photography to create a new narrative for humanity's future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Johan Rockstr and Mattias Klum reject the notion that economic growth and human prosperity can only be achieved at the expense of the environment. They contend that we have unprecedented opportunities to navigate a \"good Anthropocene.\" By embracing a deep mind-shift, humanity can reconnect to Earth, discover universal values, and take on the essential role of planetary steward. With eloquence and profound optimism, Rockstr and Klum envision a future of abundance within planetary boundaries--a revolutionary future that is at once necessary, possible, and sustainable for coming generations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Johan Rockstr, Mattias Klum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300218362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300218367\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/22\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.90w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2016","brand":"Johan Rockstr","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44047263203583,"sku":"9780300218367","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cd2d9cb4-e500-43f3-b5b1-7435ae4a75ab.jpg?v=1684989199","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/big-world-small-planet-johan-rockstrm-9780300218367","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
