la tierra sometida: Principio y fin del dominio humano sobre naturaleza

Subjugate the Earth traces the rise and impending collapse of a foundational idea: that human beings can dominate and control nature. Originating in Mesopotamia, embedded in the Bible, and spread globally through Christianity and colonialism, this belief was later cloaked in scientific language during the Enlightenment without changing its core ambition. Today, in the face of the climate crisis and a broader polycrisis, Philipp Blom argues that this idea is unraveling, as it becomes clear that humans cannot master the very systems they depend on to survive. Blending history, personal stories, art, and science, the book calls for a radical rethinking of humanity's place within the natural world--not as separate, rational beings, but as complex, irrational, and deeply entangled parts of a larger ecological system.
