The entertaining and accessible text displays a remarkable breadth and diversity of knowledge, drawing on discoveries in natural history, geology, geography and palaeontology to unravel the secrets of millions of years. Glorious panoramic photography of key sites reveals the physical legacy of the Earth's volatile past in a striking celebration of inevitable global change.
