Beyond The Anthropocene Epoch: Navigating Humanity's Impact on Earth

The Anthropocene Epoch is the unofficial unit of geological time describing the most recent period in earth’s history.  The Anthropocene Epoch is characterized by the human species having a significant impact on the planet’s climate and ecosystems, and most importantly, on other species.  During the Anthropocene Epoch the human species has become the single most influential and powerful species on the planet.  Lack of human responsibility and concern has caused significant changes on planet Earth including global warming, species extinction, zoonotic pandemics, pollution of land, water and air, changes to land including desertification and deforestation, and many other environment issues.  Human society has become so powerful that it affects the fate of the entire biosphere. 

Unfortunately, this has not been accompanied by the necessary responsibility, foresight, accountability, or justice, to create and maintain sustainability which contrasts sharply with the prevailing model of profitability as the basis for our economic system.  This book attempts to shed light on these issues and hopes to facilitate movement Beyond the Anthropocene Epoch.

“Beyond The Anthropocene Epoch” chronicles the current issues facing the world today, their origin, the trajectory this has put the world on, how it happened, and suggests realistic solutions it is not too late to implement.  Of all the books I’ve written, this is my favorite (excluding “The Search for Raoul Wallenberg” – the all-time favorite).  “Beyond The Anthropocene Epoch” is what I have in my heart as well as scientific facts and empirical evidence.  I hope you enjoy it!  But more than that, I hope it makes a difference

“Thank you for giving to me the opportunity to review your new book, ‘Beyond the Anthropocene Epoch’. Once I started reading your book, I could not put it down until I finished reading, while I digested what you so eloquently conveyed. You masterfully described the past and current human activities that have and will cause distinct environmental changes that adversely impact and endanger Mother Earth, and all the varied species that inhabit it. Your book also carefully outlines in detail what steps can still be taken to substantially reduce that adverse impact. I thought to myself, while reading, WHY have not the powers that be taken those steps. Perhaps, if the chief executives, legislators and judicial officers of the governments throughout the planet would read your book, the needed changes would shorty follow. The survival of the Earth, and every species on it, depend on the changes you suggested. Mother Earth, its plants, animals, birds, fish and humans should thank you in appreciation for your efforts to save them from extinction.”
