307 pages ; 22 cm The author surveys the traces we will leave for peoples in the very distant future. 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 jacket general DAVID FARRIER Human ecology Fossils Geology, Stratigraphic Anthropocene Human geography Nature Effect of human beings on Climatic changes Effect of human beings on 304.2 9780008286347 PPAK 241114 20241114111203.0 eng
