Recenzii
"A
sweeping,
brilliant
overview
of
the
history
of
not
only
of
our
species
but
of
the
world.
Whether
discussing
the
formation
of
continents
or
the
role
that
climate
(and
climate
change)
has
had
on
human
migration,
Lewis
Dartnell
has
a
rare
talent
in
being
able
to
see
the
big
picture--and
explaining
why
it
matters."—Peter
Frankopan,
author
ofThe
Silk
Roads
"What a treat to see history through the eyes of an astrobiologist! Our history was shaped profoundly by the laying down of iron beds two billion years ago, by the tectonic forces that ripped open the African rift valley, by the slow cooling of the earth that began 50 million years ago, and by the evolution of grasses! Lewis Dartnell's absorbing new book shows, with many vivid examples, how deeply human history is embedded in the history of planet earth."—David Christian, author ofOrigin Story
"An original and timely way of looking at human history through the materials and natural resources that our species has employed to such effect. It should be read by everyone who ponders how long exploitation can continue on a finite planet."—Richard Fortey, author ofEarth
"Endlessly enthralling, Lewis Dartnell explains why the history of humanity, and of human cultures, both take dictation from the deeper history of Earth herself--from broad generalities to surprisingly specific details. An entertaining and informative essay on contingency--and worthy successor to the writing of Stephen Jay Gould."—Ted Nield, author ofSupercontinent
