Planet Earth is amazing in so many ways, and the geological records do much to tell us about what it was like billions of years ago. However, many facets of our planet remain unknown. Hod did life evolve? How did we get here? We do know that the planet first formed more than 4 billion years ago, and was most likely a boiling sea of lava that eventually cooled enough to create a crust. Water has been present since close to the beginning, and there is evidence that carbon life is also much older than we thought.
Using up-to-date field research and recent scientific discoveries, Knoll describes the most popular theories on how life arose on the planet, as well as the distinct phases that the planet took on its way to what it looks like today. Knoll also makes predictions on what will happen in the future as human activity contributes to climate change.
Fans of riveting tales of catastrophes and changes on a global scale will appreciate this story of action, massive plot twists, and roaming monsters such as the dinosaurs! A Brief History of Earth will enlighten the reader, letting them know how far we've come, and what is ahead of us!
