Our Traumatized Planet explores the state of the environment and some the major issues faced today and asks what we can learn and apply from contemporary traditional peoples, ancient societies, and our own successes and failures.

Providing straightforward information on some of the serious environmental issues we face so that non-scientists can understand them, this book explores what is at stake so that we can choose to make a difference. Combining the latest data from environmental and archaeological science allows for fresh perspectives and an empirical approach to describing these problems that eliminates hopeful denial, speculation, wishful thinking and downright lies. Using archaeological data the authors provide examples of success and failures in the past that could be used to make decisions about the future. They also highlight examples of how traditional peoples, past and present, have dealt with these same issues. Seeing the current crisis through the eyes of two experienced archaeologists broadens our understanding and allows us to set contemporary issues in the context of the past and traditional knowledge. However, this is not a book of easy solutions form the past to solve our future rather it is an impassioned plea to people today to read and understand what state the planet is in and encourage them to find the will to change.

This book is for students of archaeology, anthropology and environmental science and all those wanting to, in a clear and readable way, understand the fate of our planet.
