A review by theratking
Earth by Jeffrey Jerome Cohen, Linda T. Elkins-Tanton
4.0
I really enjoyed this book. The dialogue between a scientific and humanities perspective (while also acknowledging the two are not always so different) was really engaging for me. Reminded me a bit of some of the best kinds of conversations I have had.
That said, the intention of the book was.. a little unclear at times - the authors seem to want to suggest tangible action in response to the damage done by the Anthropocene, but still continue to speak in abstractions.
I happen to like abstractions, so I didn't always mind, but there was some tension in terms of the books goal. Not a deal breaker for me though.
