Synopsis

The Metabolic Landscape is a beautifully illustrated, fascinating and engaging exploration navigating the disciplines of art, science and philosophy to picture and interpret the planet s current state of metabolic distress . Humankind s search for more powerful sources of energy to sustain an urbanising existence has created an energy transition that, while hugely beneficial to human existence, is now being identified as a source of harm. Just as metabolic disease refers to energy-sourced medical problems, so too the planet, the authors propose, is showing increasing signs of metabolic distress.
