ver since Nobel Prize—winning atmospheric
chemist Paul Crutzen coined the term An-
thropocene” to describe our current era—
one in which human impact on the environ-
ment has pushed Earth into an entirely new
geological epoch—arguments for and against
the new designation have been raging. Finally,
an official working group of scientists was
created to determine once and for all whether
we humans have tossed one too many plastic
bottles out the car window and wrought a
change so profound as to be on par with the
end of the last ice age. After much careful
research, the answer came back: Yes.
In Making the Most of the /Knthropocene,
scientist Mark Denny tackles this hard truth
head-on and considers many burning ques-
tions: I—low did we reach our present tech-
nological and ecological state? How are we
going to cope with our uncertain future? Will
we come out of this, or are we doomed as a
species? Is there anything we can do about
what happens next?
Denny explains what the Anthropocene is
and why it is important, arguing that based on
human nature, a technofix is our best hope
for the future. With easy-to-grasp scientific,
technological, economic, and anthropological
analyses, he offers suggestions for minimizing
harm, instead of fretting about an impending
environmental apocalypse.
This irreverent book contains no equations, no
graphs, and no impenetrable jargon. Instead,
you’ll find a fascinating cast of characters,
including journalists from outer space, pep-
pered moths, and unjustly maligned Poly-
nesians. In his bright, lively voice, Denny
envisions a future that balances reaction
and reason, one in which humanity emerges
bloody but unbowed—and in which those of
us who are prepared can make the most of
the Anthropocene.
