Description:A synthesis of geology, astronomy, paleontology, biology and ecology, THE HISTORY OF EARTH is a provocative chronicle of our planet—its origin, its development, its future. It is also the history behind the science, from Leonardo da Vinci pondering marine fossils high in the Italian Alpsto the ongoing battle between Catastrophism and Uniformitarianism as the prime theory behind geological change.Throughout, paintings enhance the text through their stunning recreation of complex events—thus allowing the reader to "see" the unseeable. Here are the first dark, churning oceans lit only by lightning and the glow of lava; the spectacular waterfalls that dropped 10,000 feet to fill the empty Mediterranean basin; the six-mile-wide "death star" that collided with Earth at the end of the Cretaceous Period and caused the extinction of the dinosaurs.Underlying the book is the authors' unpolemical concern that only with knowledge of Earth's past can we act intelligently to preserve its future.
