Isabell’s Reviews > The Anthropocene Reviewed: Essays on a Human-Centered Planet > Status Update

Diet Dr Pepper: as a non-Dr Pepper drinker I never knew any of these things about the beverage. Also never knew how OLD it is! The more you know. 3/5 stars

Lascaux Cave Paintings: With a topic so inherently interesting it is hard to write an essay that isn’t also interesting. Also, I briefly studied these caves in college and really enjoyed it so this was set up to be a smashing success. 5/5 stars

Our Capacity for Wonder: This should have been titled The Great Gatsby honestly. I didn’t like the book the first time I read it and I certainly didn’t like this look into it. 2/5 stars

Halley’s Comet: fun little anecdote and now I have a comet to look forward to in 2061! Hope I’m still around to see it! 4/5 stars

Humanity’s Temporal Range: I fear I am very much John and very much not Hank. I too would freak out and look to a younger sibling to ground me (if I had one). There is something strangely comforting to know the species will live on even if I don’t. 4/5 stars

“You’ll Never Walk Alone”: well… I learned about a football song. So that was fun. I give this one 3/5 stars.
