Tønder's work is a rich source for engaging with questions around key political issues in the Anthropocene [...] Thinking with Tønder, one can appreciate the possibilities and challenges that come with the task of undoing our dominant ways of thinking. This is a form of mental and affective exercise that someone who shares many concerns with new materialists welcomes and treasures.--Sophia Hatzisavvidou, University of Bath ""Contemporary Political Theory"" Responding to this age of extraordinary human impact on planetary systems, Lars Tønder offers a brilliant blend of new materialism, climate politics, and engaged analyses of power in an attempt to reset the social sciences for the challenge. Power in the Anthropocene is a great critique of the breadth of the ecological blindness of social science, but also a genuinely reconstructive response to the current age of climate turbulence.--David Schlosberg, Sydney Environment Institute, University of Sydney
