Otherlands (US edition)
A stirring, eye-opening journey into deep time, from the Ice Age to the first appearance of microbial life 550 million years ago.
The past is past, but it does leave clues. This book is an exploration of the Earth as it used to exist, the changes that have occurred during its history, and the ways that life has found to adapt―or not.
Otherlands also offers us a vast perspective on the current state of the planet. It illustrates how ecosystems are formed; how species die out and are replaced; and how species migrate, adapt, and collaborate. Life is persistent, but our world is fragile, and always has been.
