伦敦大学学院地球系统科学教授马克·马斯林 (Mark Maslin) 以研究气候变化为职业，并就该主题撰写了数百篇学术论文和多本书籍。 但现在，这位著名的气候科学家在他的新书《如何拯救我们的星球》中采取了一种截然不同的方法，他以最严肃的方式分解了我们每个人应该做的事情——不仅仅是为了保护地球，而是为了 还有很多其他原因，从经济储蓄到我们自己的健康。 我们最近有机会与 Maslin 教授就他的最新工作及其背后的灵感进行了交谈，为什么他对未来仍然非常乐观等等。

The Human Planet: How We Created the Anthropocene pdf 马克·马斯林

A remarkable exploration of the science, history, and politics of the Anthropocene, one of the most important scientific ideas of our time, from two world-renowned experts Meteorites, mega-volcanoes, and plate tectonics—the old forces of nature—have transformed Earth for millions of years. They are now joined by a new geological force—humans. Our actions have driven Earth into a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene. For the first time in our home planet's 4.5-billion-year history a single species is increasingly dictating Earth's future. To some the Anthropocene symbolizes a future of superlative control of our environment. To others it is the height of hubris, the illusion of our mastery over nature. Whatever your view, just below the surface of this odd-sounding scientific word, the Anthropocene, is a heady mix of science, philosophy, and politics linked to our deepest fears and utopian visions. Tracing our environmental impacts through time, scientists Simon Lewis and Mark Maslin reveal a new view of human history and a new outlook for the future of humanity in the unstable world we have created.
