A beautifully illustrated presentation of 250 milestones in the
history of our home planet, from celebrated geologist and planetary
scientist Jim Bell. Spanning Earth's entire history, from its birth
4.6 billion years ago to its inevitable destruction billions of
years into the future, this stunning volume chronicles the life of
our home planet in 250 well-chosen milestones. Jim Bell leads us on
a tour of the events, processes, people, and places that have
shaped our growing knowledge of Earth, from the oceans' formation
and the first perilous polar expeditions to deadly volcanoes and
Earth "selfies" from space. He covers relevant topics in a range of
fields, including physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, geology,
mineralogy, planetary science, life science, public policy,
atmospheric/climate science, and engineering, along with notes on
key scientists and inventors. At a time when it's crucial to
understand Earth as a complex interdependent system, and our role
in that system, The Earth Book will enhance your appreciation of
our home.
