What we are facing is not only an environmental crisis, but a geological revolution of human origin. In two centuries, our planet has tipped into a state unknown for millions of years. How did we get to this point? Refuting the convenient view of a 'human species' that upset the Earth system, unaware of what it was doing, this book proposes the first critical history of the Anthropocene, shaking up many accepted ideas- about our supposedly recent 'environmental awareness,' about previous challenges to industrialism, about the manufacture of ignorance and consumerism, about so-called energy transitions, as well as about the role of the military in environmental destruction. In a dialogue between science and history, The Shock of the Anthropocene dissects a new theoretical buzzword and explores paths for living and acting politically in this rapidly developing geological epoch.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47509022441630,"sku":"UBD-9781784785031","price":27.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781784785031.jpg?v=1780639731","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781784785031","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
