What we are facing is not only an environmental crisis, but a geological revolution of human origin. In two centuries, our planet has tipped into a state unknown for millions of years. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHow did we get to this point? Refuting the convenient view of a \"human species\" that upset the Earth system, unaware of what it was doing, this book proposes the first critical history of the Anthropocene, shaking up many accepted ideas: about our supposedly recent \"environmental awareness,\" about previous challenges to industrialism, about the manufacture of ignorance and consumerism, about so-called energy transitions, as well as about the role of the military in environmental destruction. In a dialogue between science and history, \u003ci\u003eThe Shock of the Anthropocene\u003c\/i\u003e dissects a new theoretical buzzword and explores paths for living and acting politically in this rapidly developing geological epoch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christophe Bonneuil, Jean-Baptiste Fressoz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1784785032\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781784785031\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/28\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Christophe Bonneuil","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991128899839,"sku":"9781784785031","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4f44981b-83da-4fb9-a020-c0e936037f60.jpg?v=1683308598","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-shock-of-the-anthropocene-christophe-bonneuil-9781784785031","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
