Even now, the basic  requirements for human life--air, water, shelter, food, nature, and  culture--are rapidly transforming the planet as billions of people  compete for resources. These changes have become so noticeable on a  global scale that scientists believe we are living in a new chapter in  Earth's story: the Anthropocene, or Age of Humans. \u003ci\u003eLiving in the Anthropocene: Earth in the Age of Humans\u003c\/i\u003e is a vital look at this era. The book contextualizes the Anthropocene  by presenting paleontological, historical, and contemporary views of  various human effects on Earth. It discusses environmental and  biological systems that have been changed and affected; the causes of  the Anthropocene, such as agricultural spread, pollution, and  urbanization; how societies are responding and adapting to these  changes; how these changes have been represented in art, film,  television, and literature; and finally, offers a look toward the future  of our environment and our own lives.","brand":"Smithsonian Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44215701864703,"sku":"9781588346452","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781588346452_s600x595.jpg?v=1775583974","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781588346452","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
