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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChristophe Bonneuil\u003c\/b\u003e is a historian at the Centre national de la recherche scientifique and edits the Anthropocène series for Editions du Seuil. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e Jean-Baptiste Fressoz\u003c\/b\u003e, formerly a lecturer at Imperial College, London, is now a historian at the Centre national de la recherche scientifique.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 320\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 7.7 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 28, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42726036635711,"sku":"9781784785031","price":23.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/82d981fc7c0cf744b74d41b8a921f297.webp?v=1765108984","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/the-shock-of-the-anthropocene-the-earth-history-and-us-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
