Debated, denied, unheard of, encompassing: The Anthropocene is a vexed topic, and requires interdisciplinary imagination. Starting at the author’s home in rural northern Michigan and zooming out to perceive a dizzying global matrix, Christopher Schaberg invites readers on an atmospheric, impressionistic adventure with the environmental humanities. Searching for the Anthropocene blends personal narrative, cultural criticism, and ecological thought to ponder human-driven catastrophe on a planetary scale.This book is not about defining or settling the Anthropocene, but rather about articulating what it’s like to live in the Anthropocene, to live with a sense of its nagging presence--even as the stakes grow higher with each passing year, each oncoming storm.

[Schaberg] makes sharp observations on the Anthropocene's reflection across the span of human projects, from the most insignificant to the most magnificent. Schaberg divides the book into two parts: ‘Home Sick’ and ‘Jet Lag.’ … Each part comprises multiple short pieces that speak to large ecological themes. Each piece is a treat of ecological wisdom, self-reflection, critical imagination, and elegant writing. Searching for the Anthropocene carries the ecocritical lessons beyond Michigan and midwestern America to the continental US and beyond, demonstrating how the human ecological footprint has grown into the Anthropocene. An invaluable resource for students and scholars of ecocriticism, critical theory, and environmental studies. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All readers.
