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. The Birth of
the Anthropocene 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.
