Six chapters: La Terra senza di noi, prima di noi, e noi, siamo noi, contro di noi, insieme a noi
In parole series

A title signed by the philosopher of science and evolutionist Telmo Pievani, with images by Frans Lanting, one of the most acclaimed nature photographers of our time, which guide the argument about the future of our planet. But does the future still have a future? The evolution of the Earth is a process that has certainly not stopped but goes on, develops, and forces us to ask whether the human species is really so indispensable or whether, in the great evolutionary movement, it is bound to die out. Who will come after us? The author answers this question by exploring the planet under the guidance of the extraordinary images and imagining it, some years from now, without the cumbersome human presence. The visual panorama of untouched places supports a text built in six parts that explains the past and the future of our relation with the planet we inhabit.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
