The Shock of the Anthropocene: The Earth, History and Us by Jean-Baptiste Fressoz, David Fernbach, Christophe Bonneuil

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).
