Beschreibung

An exploration of the Anthropocene and “a relentless reckoning of how we, as a species, got ourselves into the mess we’re in today” (The Wall Street Journal). 
 
Meteorites, mega-volcanoes, and plate tectonics—the old forces of nature—have transformed Earth for millions of years. They are now joined by a new geological force—humans. Our actions have driven Earth into a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene. For the first time in our home planet's 4.5-billion-year history a single species is increasingly dictating Earth’s future. 
 
To some the Anthropocene symbolizes a future of superlative control of our environment. To others it is the height of hubris, the illusion of our mastery over nature. Whatever your view, just below the surface of this odd-sounding scientific word—the Anthropocene—is a heady mix of science, philosophy, history, and politics linked to our deepest fears and utopian visions. 
 
Tracing our environmental impacts through time, scientists Simon Lewis and Mark Maslin reveal a new view of human history and a new outlook for the future of humanity in the unstable world we have created.

Welcome to the world of the super humans we call Saints. They can come back to life, fly through the air, walk on water and so much more. 
 
Saint Denis lost his head. So he picked it up and carried on walking. 
Saint Margaret was swallowed whole by a dragon, drowned, set on fire and yet refused to die. 
 
Saint Simeon lived on top of a massive pillar in the desert. 
Saint Christina visited purgatory and loved to be beaten up. 
 
In fact there are thousands and thousands of Saints and all have amazing stories. A great many are also well-known to us all and yet their real stories are not. Saint Nicholas or Santa Claus is actually the patron Saint of sailors, dock workers, thieves, murderers, shoe-shiners and lost lawsuits. Saint Columba recorded the first sighting of the Loch Ness monster as well as stealing the recipe for nettle soup. 
 
This is a fascinating and often hilarious look at the lives of the real super heroes we call Saints.
