Anthropocene: A Very Short Introduction

Climate scientists, geologists, ecologists, and archaeologists recognize the profound effects of human activity on Earth, though whether and how this should be recognized as a formal geological epoch - the Anthropocene - remains under debate, Erle Ellis describes how the Anthropocene concept is affecting the sciences, humanities, and politics.

Oamenii de stiinta din domeniul climei, geologii, ecologii si arheologii recunosc efectele profunde ale activitatii umane pe Pamant, desi daca si cum ar trebui sa fie recunoscut acest lucru ca o epoca geologica formala - antropocenul - ramane in dezbatere, Erle Ellis descrie modul in care conceptul de antropocen afecteaza stiinte, stiinte umaniste si politica.
