Encyclopedia of the Anthropocene, Five Volume Set presents a
currency-based, global synthesis cataloguing the impact of
humanity's global ecological footprint. Covering a multitude of
aspects related to Climate Change, Biodiversity, Contaminants,
Geological, Energy and Ethics, leading scientists provide
foundational essays that enable researchers to define and
scrutinize information, ideas, relationships, meanings and ideas
within the Anthropocene concept. Questions widely debated among
scientists, humanists, conservationists, politicians and others are
included, providing discussion on when the Anthropocene began, what
to call it, whether it should be considered an official geological
epoch, whether it can be contained in time, and how it will affect
future generations. Although the idea that humanity has driven the
planet into a new geological epoch has been around since the dawn
of the 20th century, the term 'Anthropocene' was only first used by
ecologist Eugene Stoermer in the 1980s, and hence popularized in
its current meaning by atmospheric chemist Paul Crutzen in 2000.
