The proposal that the impact of humanity on the planet has left a distinct footprint, even on the scale of geological time, has recently gained much ground. Global climate change, shifting global cycles of the weather, widespread pollution, radioactive fallout, plastic accumulation, species invasions, the mass extinction of species - these are just some of the many indicators that we will leave a lasting record in rock, the scientific basis for recognizing new time intervals in Earth's history. The "Anthropocene," as the proposed new epoch has been named, is regularly in the news. Even with such robust evidence, the proposal to formally recognize our current time as the Anthropocene remains controversial both inside and outside the scholarly world, kindling intense debates. The reason is clear. The Anthropocene represents far more than just another interval of geologic time. Instead, the Anthropocene has emerged as a powerful new narrative, a concept through which age-old questions about the meaning of nature and even the nature of humanity are being revisited and radically revised. This Very Short Introduction explains the science behind the Anthropocene and the many proposals about when to mark its beginning: The nuclear tests of the 1950s? The beginnings of agriculture? The origins of humans as a species? Erle Ellis considers the many ways that the Anthropocene's "evolving paradigm" is reshaping the sciences, stimulating the humanities, and foregrounding the politics of life on a planet transformed by humans. The Anthropocene remains a work in progress. Is this the story of an unprecedented planetary disaster? Or of newfound wisdom and redemption? Ellis offers an insightful discussion of our role in shaping the planet, and how this will influence our future on many fronts.

Ailun screen protector WORKS Great!
Model: iPad 11th A16 2025/10th, Model: iPad 11th A16 2025/10th
Lifesaver tempered glass cell phone protector. Smooth, thin and appears like the cell itself. Reactive to cell touch and no lag time.
I recently had a terrible accident from a heavy metal yeti mug fall onto my cell. I was livid when I realized my cell phone was sitting on the counter and was struck hard and thought my phone was severely damaged.
I remember I had placed the glass screen protector on and slowly peeled it off. To my happy amazed discovery, the Ailun screen protector truly protected my cell phone from damage. The stick on cover took the brunt of the metal mug falling 2-3 feet above my phone!!! Saved me alot of headache, money to replace the phone which was an important special gift, and anguish.
I will use this product again for future phones when I run out of cell life. Take a look of the cracked glass cover which helped me!!
