Although efforts to pin down beginning dates of this epoch have been debated, there is a broad consensus that humanity is facing an unprecedented challenge to surviving on Earth, a challenge which humans have created ourselves. Undeniably, we have had and continue to have impacts on the planet as a whole. These include ravaging bushfires and unprecedented flooding caused by climate change, spiking levels of carbon dioxide levels, and widespread loss of biodiversity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe challenge has been expressed in various ways: the larger challenges of climate change or ocean garbage toxicity, the subtler challenges that would support such large efforts by cultivating a new aesthetic. The present book asks of us to reach for the deeper grounding of all such efforts. Perhaps that asking is best hinted at by pluralizing the word character in a paradoxical non-question: \"What is to be the 'character' of the characters transforming the Anthropocene from its present negativity to a positive period of human flourishing.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat is missing, what we are in the dark about, is the apparently simple turn that would have us asking, \"What's what?\"\u003cbr\u003eThe focus must be concrete: so we are to think of miners and farmers and reformers and economists and educators, but primarily of ourselves as whats. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMight we begin the positive Anthropocene's success by beginning to sow what comprehendingly?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Duffy,Robert Henman,Terrance Quinn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1988457106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781988457109\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Axial Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/03\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.40d","brand":"James Duffy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47305463562495,"sku":"9781988457109","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9e7b6c35-62f5-407f-bc90-f5bf3420b0e3.jpg?v=1758830952","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/seeding-the-positive-anthropocene-james-duffy-9781988457109","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
