He shows that modern civilization has created objects and landscapes with the potential to endure through deep time, including the plastic polluting the oceans, the nuclear waste entombed within the earth, and the thirty million miles of paved roads spanning the planet. This is his meditation on climate change and the Anthropocene, and an urgent search for fossils--industrial, chemical, geological--that humans are leaving behind. -- adapted from inside front dust jacket10aHuman ecology20aFossils20aGeology, StratigraphicyAnthropocene20aHuman geography20aNature xEffect of human beings on20aClimatic changes xEffect of human beings on
