This book is devoted to the Anthropocene, the period of unprecedented
human impacts on Earth’s environmental systems, and illustrates how
Geographers envision the concept of the Anthropocene. This edited
volume illustrates that geographers have a diverse perspective on what
the Anthropocene is and represents. The chapters also show that
geographers do not feel it necessary to identify only one starting
point for the temporal onset of the Anthropocene. Several starting
points are suggested, and some authors support the concept of a
time-transgressive Anthropocene. Chapters in this book are organized
into six sections, but many of them transcend easy categorization and
could have fit into two or even three different sections. Geographers
embrace the concept of the Anthropocene while defining it and studying
it in a variety of ways that clearly show the breadth and diversity of
the discipline. This book will be of great value to scholars,
researchers, and students interested in geography, environmental
humanities, environmental studies, and anthropology. The chapters in
this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal
Annals of the American Association of Geographers.
