36 reviewsUnderstanding Imperilled Earth: How Archaeology and Human History Inform a Sustainable Future
A unique introduction to how understanding archaeology can support modern-day sustainability efforts, from restoring forested land to developing fire management strategiesAn essential and hopeful book for climate-conscious readers
The world faces an uncertain future with the rise of climate change, biodiversity loss, deforestation, overfishing, and other threats. Understanding Imperilled Earth meets this uncertainty head-on, presenting archaeology and history as critical guides to addressing the modern environmental crisis.
Anthropologist Todd J. Braje draws connections between deep history and today’s hot-button environmental news stories to reveal how the study of the ancient past can help build a more sustainable future.
The book covers a diverse array of interconnected issues, including:
how modern humans have altered the natural world
conservation work of Indigenous communities
extinction of megafauna like dire wolves and woolly rhinoceros
the risk of deforestation highlighted by Notre Dame’s destruction
the extinction crisis reflected by endangered bird species in Hawaii’s
fish scarcity driving demand and price, like the single blue-fin tuna fish that sold for three million dollars
importance of “action archaeology”
Braje examines how historical roots offer a necessary baseline for a healthier Earth, because understanding how the planet used to be is fundamental to creating effective restoration efforts moving forward through urban forests, sustainable food webs, and more.
Understanding Imperilled Earth offers an illuminating, hopeful, and actionable approach to some of the world’s most urgent problems.
