Reference to "The human empire" (NO) in book chapter by Burkey

My Norwegian language book chapter "Menneskeveldet" [The human empire] is referred to in a chapter in the same book written by Tormod Vaaland Burkey:
Burkey, Tormod Vaaland 2013. En annen verdensanskuelse er mulig [A different world view is possible]. In: Ragnhild Sollund, Morten Tønnessen and Guri Larsen (eds), Hvem er villest i landet her: Råskap mot dyr og natur i antropocen, menneskets tidsalder [Who is wildest in this country here? Brutality towards animals and nature in the Anthropocene, the age of Man]. Oslo: Spartacus Forlag/Scandinavian Academic Press, 353-374.
The reference - or more specifically two mentions - is made on p. 362. Excerpts (my translation):
But humans have established themselves on all continents, under all possible environmental circumstances, and operate as a global species that is no longer held back by local conditions (see Tønnessen, chapter 2).
And:
In the era of the Anthropocene (see Tønnessen, chapter 2) humans are rather to be regarded as an environmental condition which other species are restrained by, than a part of that same nature.
