Overview

We live in times of great change on Earth. In fact, while previous shifts from one geological epoch to another were caused by events beyond human control, the dramatic results of our emission of carbon to the atmosphere over the past century have moved many scientists to declare the dawn of a new era: the Anthropocene, or Age of Man.
Watching this consensus develop from her seat as an editor at "Nature," Gaia Vince couldn t help but wonder if the greatest cause of this dramatic planetary changehumans singular ability to adapt and innovatemight also hold the key to our survival. And so she left her professional life in London and set out to travel the world in search of ordinary people making extraordinary changes and, in many cases, thriving.
Part science journal, part travelogue, "Adventures in the Anthropocene" recounts Vince s journey, and introduces an essential new perspective on the future of life on Earth."
