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.
