This is a very clearly written narrative about our earth, our home, and what we need to do to preserve her. It lays out the prehistory and history of the changes our world had already experienced and spells out recurring cycles, but clearly shows that the human influence is accelerating the natural cycles of climate change. Is it already too late? We had better hope not. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A guided tour thru the geology & history of the planet. Knoll's organization of the book gives it a natural flow that lets him impart lots of information like a knowledgeable tour guide.

Eight distinct and easily digestible chapters. Short enough to read in one sitting. Really enjoyed it.

23/150 I started this as an ebook, but switched over to audio to finish it, mainly because I didn't feel like I was absorbing the data. I think the audio was a little better, but I still found it kind of dull. 3 🌎🌎🌎

This book is a veritable smorgasbord of scientific awesomeness—chemistry, biology, geology, paleontology, earth & planetary sciences, & probably a few other “ologies” I‘m forgetting, combine in this fascinating, illuminating, accessible & eminently readable book about the evolution of life on & the environmental history of Earth. (Reading it is also making me use big words apparently! 😂) I learned a lot & really enjoyed this book. Recommended.

Did I decide to read this book next because my teen, who will be heading off to college in the fall, wants to study earth and planetary sciences? Noooooo….But did I show her what I was reading it in the hopes that she might think I‘m the teeniest, tiniest bit cool? Absolutely! So far it‘s a very interesting and quite accessible read.

I wouldn‘t have thought it was possible to cover the whole history of the Earth in a 5-hour #audiobook, but Knoll did a great job! I especially loved the parts about the formation of the planet and the beginnings of life. He also did a wonderful job explaining the fossil record and why certain fossils can be seen in different parts of the world. Just a fascinating #PopSci book.

Today‘s breakroom reading has tricked me into reading still more early-universe physics. #ARC

BiblioLitten I still know the lyrics of their theme song😀 I always imagined I was one of the planeteers 7y
vkois88 @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego @GripLitGrl @BiblioLitten yes! It was one of my favorites ❤ I still remember the lyrics as well. I thought Linka was so cool because she was Russian and Wheeler was her boyfriend 😂😂 I used to have little plastic rings that I'd pretend were the power rings. 7y
