A non-technical (but serious) treatment of those parts of Earth
history leading up to human history, as well as some pre-historical
aspects of humanity. Many "events" in Earth's history necessarily
preceded the emergence of human beings (and intelligence). Geology
has provided us with a great deal of information about these
various steps on the way to intelligent life, and how and why they
were important. Some of these events were on a cosmic scale (no
universe - no life!), some were planetological/astronomical (no
Earth - no life), some were essentially chemical (how did life
emerge in the primordial ocean and why do we have oxygen in the
atmosphere?), and some were details of evolutionary history (how
did life colonize the land and how did mammals develop?). In this
book an enthusiastic professor of geosciences presents a broad
introduction from the Big Bang to the present and into the future,
lucidly explaining aspects from various disciplines to interested,
non-specialist readers.
