Lesley Head

Hope and Grief in the Anthropocene (eBook, PDF)

Re-conceptualising human-nature relations

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

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.
