Description

David Howe explores how humanity's relationship with Earth's natural resources has evolved over time, tracing our environmental impact from ancient times to the present day.

The extraction and use of natural resources have been a driving force behind human progress, from flint-knapped stones in prehistoric times to modern-day silicon chips. However, this relentless pursuit of resource extraction has pushed the planet to its limits, with humans now shifting more rock, soil, and sediment each year than the world's rivers, glaciers, wind, and rain combined.

Today, plastics alone weigh twice as much as all marine and terrestrial animals on Earth, highlighting the urgent need for a reevaluation of our relationship with the natural world. Extraction to Extinction examines this complex issue and considers what the future holds for our depleted planet.
