Footprints
In Search of Future Fossils
David Farrier
"Footprints: In Search of Future Fossils" by an award-winning author is a profound and urgent meditation on climate change and the Anthropocene. The book explores the traces humans will leave behind for the very distant future - from plastic polluting the oceans to nuclear waste sealed within the earth. It invites readers to think about how we will be remembered in the myths and stories of our distant descendants, and how the future fossils have the potential to reveal much about how we lived in the twenty-first century. This book will change how you see the world today and offers a message of hope amidst a warning about the consequences of our rapidly changing world.

Sometimes, when I get a manuscript to blurb, I read a couple of paragraphs at the beginning and sigh with relief, because I know I'll be in good hands for the rest. @David_Farrier's "Footprints" was one of those. A brilliant, mind-opening book. – source
