"Hazen illuminates the origins of Earth and the origins of life [in] a thoroughly accessible book, mixing a variety of scientific disciplines to tell an unforgettable story." - Publishers Weekly, "Concise and colourful . . . Drawing on the latest research and influenced by advances in astrobiology, Hazen takes a radical standpoint . . . to tell the amazing tale of our planet's intertwined living and non-living spheres." --Birger Schmitz, Nature, "A fascinating new theory on the Earth's origins written in a sparkling style with many personal touches . . . Hazen offers startling evidence that 'Earth's living and nonliving spheres' have co-evolved over the past four billion years." - Kirkus Reviews (starred), "Hazen illuminates the origins of Earth and the origins of life [in] a thoroughly accessible book, mixing a variety of scientific disciplines to tell an unforgettable story." -- Publishers Weekly, "Exceptionally readable [and] user-friendly . . . Science junkies and readers interested in the environment will find Hazen's arguments compelling and his overview of Earth's tumultuous history captivating." -Carl Hays, Booklist, "Hazen has a gift for explaining science in lay terms, and even readers with a minimal understanding of geology, chemistry, and physics will find this book riveting." --Nancy R. Curtis, Library Journal, "Hazen takes us on one of the grandest tours of them all--the 4.5 billion year history of our planet. From the atoms of the crust of the Earth come our bodies, the entire living world, and this exciting book. Read Hazen and you will not see Earth and life in the same way again." -- Neil Shubin, paleontologist and bestselling author of Your Inner Fish, "I'm not competent to assess the accuracy of Robert Hazen's thesis about geological and biological history, but I am competent to judge it a fascinating story, far more alive than you might guess if all you knew was the subject was old dead (?!) rocks." -- Bill McKibben , bestselling author of Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet, "With infectious enthusiasm for his subject, Hazen introduces readers to Earth's defining moments . . . [and] argues that understanding the interplay between Earth's geological and biological pasts can help us predict and prepare for the future of life on our planet." --Saron Yitbarek, Discover, " The Story of Earth is that rare book that can transform the way you see the world. By synthesizing a vast span of time and knowledge into crisp, delightful prose, Hazen really does make our planet into a story, and a compelling one. I was left with a new sense of context for our place in this galactic home." - Charles Wohlforth, author of The Fate of Nature and The Whale and the Supercomputer, "With infectious enthusiasm for his subject, Hazen introduces readers to Earth's defining moments . . .

Synopsis
Hailed by The New York Times for writing "with wonderful clarity about science . . . that effortlessly teaches as it zips along," nationally bestselling author Robert M. Hazen offers a radical new approach to Earth history in this intertwined tale of the planet's living and nonliving spheres. With an astrobiologist's imagination, a historian's perspective, and a naturalist's eye, Hazen calls upon twenty-first-century discoveries that have revolutionized geology and enabled scientists to envision Earth's many iterations in vivid detail--from the mile-high lava tides of its infancy to the early organisms responsible for more than two-thirds of the mineral varieties beneath our feet. Lucid, controversial, and on the cutting edge of its field, The Story of Earth is popular science of the highest order. "A sweeping rip-roaring yarn of immense scope, from the birth of the elements in the stars to meditations on the future habitability of our world." - Science "A fascinating story." -Bill McKibben

- a***n (818)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoFast ship, described as 'Very Good' and arrived in a strong packaging as a nice 'tight' copy with the author's signature too! Yes, there is a ding on the front top but it's a small thing for the bargain at best pricing at time of purchase! See photos! Great seller! Thank you!Jacques Ppin Heart & Soul in the Kitchen (N° 356558393888)
- t***t (109)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoShipped quickly, well packed, and in advertised condition. It was listed as being in good condition and, other than a big crease in the back cover, the rest of the book was in very good condition so the description was accurate. I also bought another book from the seller and that one was better than advertised condition so this is a very good seller.
