Klappentext

How do we think about population in the Anthropocene?

The "Great Acceleration" describes a set of interrelated human-driven transformations of Earth's systems, including the eightfold population growth since 1800. Yet ideas about population in the epoch many call the Anthropocene sit uncomfortably in contemporary discussions.

How Do We Think About Population in the Anthropocene? brings together the world's key thinkers in Anthropocene studies from a wide range of disciplines, including geology, geography, demography, history, political theory, and more. How do we think about population in the Anthropocene, or should we even think in terms of population at all? The twelve short essays in this pamphlet offer responses that reimagine how we think about economy, environment, consumption, reproduction, and extinction.
