The Human Age is an intrepid exploration of the new geological
epoch in which we now find ourselves: the Anthropocene. Defined as
the Age of Man, this is the epoch in which human beings have become
the driving forces that mould, transform and destroy Earth. Where
natural occurrences once controlled climate, geology and the
genesis and demise of species, humankind now holds the reins.
Bringing together scientific theory, political argument,
philosophical questioning and our deepest fears and hopes for the
future, The Human Age explores this new age through informative and
compelling text, and astounding photographs of the impact of human
life on Earth. Powerful graphics depict the changing nature of the
landscape and the very bedrock of our planet, and the destruction
of ancient systems and environments that is resulting in global
upheaval and climate breakdown. Creating a visual and written
timeline of the age of human domination, The Human Age reveals how
this era was born, the ways in which it is impacting us and our
planet now, and the outlook for the future.
