Description: "A Field Guide to the Patchy Anthropocene leads the reader through a series of sites, observations, thought experiments, and genre-stretching descriptive practices to take stock of our current planetary crisis. This is a guide for researchers of many stripes; a book that nurtures and promotes a revitalized natural history in direct response to worlds falling apart"--
Review Quotes: "What is life really like on a fast-evolving Earth--for witchweed in Mozambique, water hyacinth in Java, the golden apple snail in Taiwan, and for us? This marvelous, multifaceted Field Guide digs deep beneath the global images of a new epoch and illuminates the changes taking place while showing us how to engage with them." --Jan Zalasiewicz, author of How to Read a Rock: Our Planet's Hidden Stories
