Abstract

We are facing a species emergency. With every degree of temperature rise, a billion people will be displaced from the zone in which humans have lived for thousands of years. While we must do everything we can to mitigate the impact of climate change, the brutal truth is that huge swathes of the world are becoming uninhabitable.Gaia Vince describes how we can plan for and manage this unavoidable climate migration while we restore the planet to a fully habitable state. The vital message of this book is that migration is not the problem - it's the solution. Drawing on a wealth of eye-opening data and original reporting, Vince shows how migration brings benefits not only to migrants themselves, but to host countries, many of which face demographic crises and labour shortages. While the climate catastrophe is finally getting the attention it deserves, the inevitability of mass migration has been largely ignored. In Nomad Century, Vince provides, for the first time, an examination of the most pressing question facing humanity.https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/444202/nomad-century-by-vince-gaia/9780241522318

Abstract

Het verhaal van de mens is fascinerend: terwijl ons meest nabije familielid, de chimpansee, op dezelfde manier leeft als miljoenen jaren geleden, wonen wij in megasteden met geschreven wetten, metro’s en smartphones. Wat heeft ons gevormd, naast genetische evolutie? In tegenstelling tot elke andere soort op aarde bepalen wij onze eigen bestemming door middel van het samenspel tussen onze genen, onze omgeving en onze cultuur. Gaia Vince legt met behulp van vier elementen (vuur, taal, schoonheid en tijd) op overtuigende wijze uit hoe we sinds de steentijd zijn afgeweken van het evolutionaire pad van alle andere dieren. Vuur, taal, schoonheid, tijd daagt ons uit om het verhaal van onze voorouders opnieuw te bekijken. Wij zijn de intelligente ontwerpers van onszelf.
