Product Information

A deeply moving and insightful collection of personal essays from #1 bestselling author John Green. The Anthropocene is the current geologic age, in which humans have profoundly reshaped the planet and its biodiversity. In this remarkable symphony of essays adapted and expanded from his groundbreaking podcast, bestselling author John Green reviews different facets of the human-centered planet on a five-star scale--from the QWERTY keyboard and sunsets to Canada geese and Penguins of Madagascar. Funny, complex, and rich with detail, the reviews chart the contradictions of contemporary humanity. As a species, we are both far too powerful and not nearly powerful enough, a paradox that came into sharp focus as we faced a global pandemic that both separated us and bound us together. John Green's gift for storytelling shines throughout this masterful collection. The Anthropocene Reviewed is a open-hearted exploration of the paths we forge and an unironic celebration of falling in love with the world. Audio exclusive! Three bonus essays!

Reviews
Praise for The Anthropocene Reviewed "The book is a review of humanity: how we grow, how we build, how we destroy, and how we observe ourselves. Many books succeed at making the personal universal, but this one also makes the universal personal . "This is a book about culture, about science and medicine, about Green himself, but really it surpasses these designations. It is essential to the human conversation. John Green whispered the truth of humanity onto the page, and as with all good secrets, you'll need to lean in closely to hear. " - Library Journal, starred review " The Anthropocene Reviewed is the perfect book to read over lunch or to keep on your nightstand, whenever you need a reminder of what it is to feel small and human, in the best possible way ." - San Francisco Chronicle "There is something of the sermon in [Green's] essays as he mixes curiosity and erudition with confession, compassion, and wit, searching for illuminating life lessons amid life's dark chaos . His particular mix of irony and sincerity enables him to embrace both the sublime and the ridiculous." - Booklist " Lyrical and beautiful, funny and hopeful, intricate and entertaining all at once .... Green may have made his name by writing fiction (and for good reason), but this first foray into nonfiction is his most mature, compelling, and beautifully written book yet." -Shondaland.com "What Green is really telling us with these unexpected stories about Sycamore Trees, Canada Geese, and Dr Pepper is how much there is to love in the world and why that love is worth the effort ." -NPR.com "Each short review is rich with meaning and filled with surprises and together, they amount to a resonant paean to hard-won hope." - Publishers Weekly , starred review " Each of the entries in The Anthropocene Reviewed: Essays on a Human-Centered Planet , is a small gem, polished to near perfection .... What unites them is [Green's] uncanny ability to structure each piece as both a critique of human foibles and an embracing of them." - Shelf Awareness , starred review " If you're looking for a little hope this summer look no further than John Green's latest essay collection .... These personal essays explore humanity in every detail from funny and small to complex and powerful." -Isaac Fitzgerald, TODAY Show Summer Reading Recommendations "In his novels, John Green conjures richly imagined, heartfelt drama that lovingly explores the human condition. With The Anthropocene Reviewed , John pulls off the same magic trick while writing about the largest ball of paint...and it is glorious. Every page is full of insight. I loved it. " -Roman Mars, creator and host of 99% Invisible " The Anthropocene Reviewed somehow satisfies all the contradictory demands I have for a book right now: it stimulates my brain while getting me out of my head while taking me to faraway places while grounding me in the wonders of my everyday. I'm so glad it's here. I need it. " -Anna Sale, host of Death, Sex & Money and author of Let's Talk About Hard Things " If loving something out loud takes courage, and I think it does, John Green is Evel Knievel and The Anthropocene Reviewed is a series of ever-more-impressive motorcycle jumps." -Latif Nasser, co-host of Radiolab

    The item was packaged well and arrived in good physical condition. Everything is as described and photographed, and authentic. The right shoulder button is a bit degraded, but is still functional. Everything else is good. Should be able to fix it up. Very satisfied, especially for the price. Thanks.
