The Human Impact upon Planet Earth

This timely, comprehensive and interdisciplinary book shows that technological innovations and decisive developments since 1945 – from the nuclear revolution to anthropogenic climate change and debates about the Anthropocene – have prompted reflections on the global condition of humanity and helped reshape political communities by making the world (appear) small, manageable and interconnected. The book confronts the big questions of how we interpret human-Earth relations since 1945 and what this means for the future of humanity and our planet.

The book is edited by Rens van Munster and Casper Sylvest.
