Join Rich Pell, Founder and Executive Director of the Center for PostNatural History, whose mission is to increase understanding of human entanglement with the natural world. While humans were once mere participants in the evolutionary process, we are now a primary force shaping it.
This Is NOT An Artifact catalogs 15 years of investigation by the Center for PostNatural History—including essays and photography by founder Rich Pell and a catalog of PostNatural organisms—and comes with 3D glasses!
