With human-induced environmental impacts disrupting human life in
deeper ways and at a wider scale than anything previously
experienced, this multidisciplinary book looks at the ways that
current knowledge bases seem inadequate to help us deal with such
realities. It offers a critical appraisal of the current knowledge
infrastructure, including science, technology, innovation,
education and informal knowledge systems. Contributions from a wide
spectrum of social scientists, philosophers, activists and
decision-makers tackle the importance of knowledge for the
Anthropocene using a mosaic of data, theories, cases, models,
methods and experiences. Chapters highlight what relevant knowledge
will become critical to dealing with deteriorating environmental
conditions, as well as how science, technology, education and
innovation can be radically transformed to deal with these
challenges. The book further explores the behavioural, economic,
social and cultural aspects of the Anthropocene, and how knowledge
impacts both these and our possible futures. This will be a
critical read for human geography and environmental science
scholars, as well as social science scholars more broadly,
particularly with its in-depth glossary and digital resource list.
It will also aid practitioners in the planning, design, management
and evaluation of knowledge systems by providing deeper
understandings of the potential circumstances of knowledge in the
Anthropocene.
