A dizzying ride through 4.6 billion years of life on Earth, this striking book tells the creation story of our planet, as told by science.
Once upon a time, before time even existed, all matter in the universe was concentrated on a single point a fraction of the size of an atom. And then? And then it exploded.
This is a celebration of the origins of our planet and the life that inhabits it. Factual in content, but lyrical in expression, and with sumptuous illustration, this book takes readers on an extraordinary evolutionary journey; from the emergence of photosynthesising single-celled organisms to the blobby sea-creatures that gradually morphed into fish and then tetrapods, reptiles, dinosaurs and finally to mammals.
We tell stories of apples and snakes, of gods and monsters. But the creation story told by science is more perplexing and incredible than any we could ever make up.
Written by award-winning author, Ziggy Hanaor, and gorgeously brought to life by Cristóbal Schmal, this stunning book is both emotive and educational.
