Zusammenfassung:"From the noted environmental historian and philosopher Carolyn Merchant, this wide-ranging book focuses on the original concept of the Anthropocene (the Age of Humanity) first proposed in 2000 by Paul Crutzen and Eugene Stoermer. It undertakes a broad investigation into the ways in which science, technology, and the humanities can create a new and compelling awareness of human impacts on the environment. Using history, art, literature, religion, philosophy, ethics, and justice as the focal points, Merchant traces key figures and developments in the humanities throughout the Anthropocene era and explores how these disciplines might influence sustainability in the next century"--Publisher's description.
