  27. The Birth of the Anthropocene by Jeremy Davies, 2016

    The world faces an environmental crisis unprecedented in human history. Carbon dioxide levels have reached heights not seen for three million years, and the greatest mass extinction since the time of the dinosaurs appears to be underway.
