In his new book After Nature: A Politics for the Anthropocene (Harvard University Press, 2015), Professor Jedediah Purdy defines and details the Anthropocene epoch and calls for a new way of thinking about political, legal, and cultural solutions to environmental problems. The book has been praised by critics for its depth and urgency—one review said the book "may very well be the Silent Spring of the 21st Century."
