The Story of Earth: The First 4.5 Billion Years, from Stardust to Living Planet by Robert M. Hazen
Requirements: EPUB / MOBI Reader, 1.2 MB, 2013
Overview: To tell a story spanning 4.5 billion years in one book? It’s a hard ask, but Robert Hazen does it and does it well, striking the right balance between too little detail and too much. The section on how competition for rock surfaces drove the organisation and concentration of complex biomolecules, the building blocks of life, was intellectually stunning. That natural selection might have been at work before life even existed came as a profound revelation, as is the thought that the same processes may have laid the foundations for life on other planets and moons (Europa for example).
Would that all those mired in superstition, fear, and ignorance might read this book with open, enquiring, and rational minds.
