Description:
The Anthropocene is a volatile and potentially catastrophic age demanding new ways of thinking about relations between humans and the nonhuman world. This book explores how responses to environmental challenges are hampered by a grief for a pristine and certain past, rather than considering the scale of the necessary socioeconomic change for a 'future' world.
Review Quotes:
"The book is important and timely. A main strength is that Head problematises the often rather shallow plea for more positive emotions in climate-change communication and education, for instance."- Maria OjalaÖrebro University, Örebro, Sweden, Local Environment The International Journal of Justice and Sustainability
