Dag O. Hessen - The World at the Tipping Point
Super-bestselling non-fiction written by award-winning biology Professor and Author Dag O. Hessen, last nominated to the Nordic Council Environmental Prize. 

70 000 years ago, there existed a species, comprised of scattered populations of a few hundred individuals each, who generally lived peaceful lives in a corner of Africa. Today, that species consists of 9 billion individuals, and it has begun to fundamentally alter the planet. The species in question is us.

What we are doing to the earth, can be registered on a geological timeline showing hundreds of thousands of years. So extensive are the emissions of climate gases and the reduction in biodiversity that we caused, during only a brief moment in the long history of the earth.
