{"product_id":"the-birth-of-the-anthropocene-jeremy-davies-9780520289987","title":"The Birth of the Anthropocene","description":"The world faces an environmental crisis unprecedented in human history. Carbon dioxide levels have reached heights not seen for three million years, and the greatest mass extinction since the time of the dinosaurs appears to be underway. Such far-reaching changes suggest something remarkable: the beginning of a new geological epoch. It has been called the Anthropocene. \u003ci\u003eThe Birth of the Anthropocene\u003c\/i\u003e shows how this epochal transformation puts the deep history of the planet at the heart of contemporary environmental politics. By opening a window onto geological time, the idea of the Anthropocene changes our understanding of present-day environmental destruction and injustice. Linking new developments in earth science to the insights of world historians, Jeremy Davies shows that as the Anthropocene epoch begins, politics and geology have become inextricably entwined.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeremy Davies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520289986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520289987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.60w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2017","brand":"Jeremy Davies","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946701816063,"sku":"9780520289987","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_7acff456-4866-4afa-af14-e173f62a09a6.jpg?v=1681514643","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-birth-of-the-anthropocene-jeremy-davies-9780520289987","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
