Earth Story Ref: B0691116628

PRINCETON UNIVERSITY PRESS

By describing the remarkable forces that formed and shaped our ever-changing world, Earth Story givers us a new understanding of the planet and our place within its evolution.
When and how was Earth formed? What is the link between earthquakes, volcanoes, and the creation of the continents? How do mountains affect our climate? What triggers ice ages? Earth Story answers these and many other questions, and tells the amazing story of our planet and its constantly changing nature.
Two centuries ago, scientists began to investigate the history of Earth by examining the rocks beneath its surface and began to formulate the astonishing concept of geological time. Using this discovery as their starting point, Simon Lamb and David Sington unravel the fascinating history of Earth from its earliest beginnings to the dawn of human civilizations, using full-colour illustrations, stunning photography, and the latest scientific thinking.
