A Walk Through Time: From Stardust to Us von Brian Swimme
Lushly illustrated and well-conceived telescopic summary of the development and diversification of life on Earth. Would serve as a useful guide for those seeking an introduction to the broader themes in biology.
Travel from the furious blast of the Big Bang to the first pulse of life, and on through the rich pageant of life's evolution from primordial microbes to the rise of Homo sapiens. Over 130 beautiful four-color illustrations and an absorbing narrative highlight significant events & themes in Earth's life story.
By relating life's story according to the accurate time line of evolution, "A Walk Through Time" highlights just what latecomers we humans are to Earth's family of life, and showcases the surprising ingenuity & stamina of the microbial life that preceded us & still supports the life all around us. The richly illustrated text makes us realize with heart as well as mind that we can no longer perceive Earth as an inert lump of rock with an assembly of different life-forms, but must understand that our planet comprises one comprehensive, intricately woven life system.… (mehr)
