The Cosmic Oasis: The Remarkable Story of Earth’s Biosphere by Mark Williams, Jan Zalasiewicz
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 6.7 MB
Overview: Alone in the known universe the Earth glows bright with life, a unique cosmic oasis of biodiversity which is now under threat from our own actions.
The Earth is a unique as a living planet, a cosmic oasis drifting in the vastness of barren space. It is strikingly and obviously different from our nearest heavenly neighbours, the Moon, Venus and Mars, in its thin skin of biology, extending from the surface for a few kilometres into the crust, and for a few tens of kilometres into the air. But how did this remarkable abundance and diversity of life arise? How has life survived over the enormous time frame of Earth’s history? And does it continue to flourish now, especially with the growing pressure for space from humans?.
