Description The new geological epoch we call the Anthropocene is not just a scientific classification.

It marks a radical transformation in the background conditions of life on Earth, one taken for granted by much of who we are and what we hope for.

Never before has a species possessed both a geological-scale grasp of the history of the Earth and a sober understanding of its own likely fate.

Our situation forces us to confront questions both philosophical and of real practical.
