bit dry and depressing, but nice as a sort of organized history and very illuminating

4.0
A very impressive historiographical work compiling many different perspectives on the Anthropocene. The text can be a bit dry at times, but what it might lack in momentum it makes up for in sheer amounts of compiled information.

Shocked
Read this for the most astute and concise political
take on our new unnatural world. Broad and provocative on the challenge ahead of us, nothing less than true emancipation.

tain_hu's review against another edition
ok this took me SO long to finish. some chapters (and the arguments contained) were stronger than others; a great reframing of histories of environmental damage, industrial development, capitalism, and environmental movements. an acknowledgment of the plurality of those histories. but the ending petered out a little, as if it didn’t have much to offer by way of conclusion or solution or resolution (which is fair enough).
