Building on the concept of the Anthropocene first proposed by Paul Crutzen and Eugene Stoermer, noted environmental historian Carolyn Merchant offers a wide-ranging and accessible exploration of the ways science, technology, and the humanities can create a new and compelling awareness of human impacts on the environment. Focusing on history, art, literature, religion, philosophy, and ethics, 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.
