In this incredible expedition into the origins, workings, and evolution of our home planet, John Gribbin does what he does best: takes four and a half billion years of mind-boggling science and digs out the best bits. From the physics of Newton and the geology of Wegener, to the environmentalism of Lovelock, this is a must-read for Earth's scientists and residents alike.
John Gribbin is the bestselling author of "In Search of Schrodinger's Cat", "The Scientists", "Deep Simplicity", and "In Search of the Multiverse". He trained as an astrophysicist at the University of Cambridge and is currently Visiting Fellow in Astronomy at the University of Sussex, UK.
