À travers l'Histoire, notre planète a connu cinq grandes extinctions de masse. Partout dans le monde, des scientifiques surveillent les signes avant-coureurs d'une sixième extinction, la plus dévastatrice depuis la chute de l'astéroïde qui a fait disparaître les dinosaures. Les responsables du prochain cataclysme, ce sera nous, les humains. Dans cet essai percutant, Elizabeth Kolbert explique pourquoi et comment nous détruisons notre environnement à petit feu et présente les conséquences désastreuses qui en découlent. Appuyant ses propos sur des données scientifiques rigoureuses, l'auteure démontre qu'à moins d'adopter des comportements plus responsables, l'homme causera un bouleversement planétaire irréversible dont il sera l'une des premières victimes. À l'aide d'experts mondiaux et sur un ton non dénué d'humour, Kolbert décrit les cinq précédentes extinctions et analyse les données environnementales actuelles qui annoncent la mort lente de notre monde. -- [Renaud-Bray].
