| Eureka - A Popular Science Book Promotion Life: An Unauthorised Biography: A Natural History of the First Four Thousand Million Years of Life on Earth by Richard Fortey Shortlisted 1998 This book guides us from the barren globe spinning through
space, through the very earliest signs of life on the rims of volcanoes,
the appearance of cells, the creation of an atmosphere and the myriad
forms of plants and animals which could then evolve and be sustained,
right up to the first appearance of homo sapiens. Fortey also
explains how scientists have reached the understanding we have today,
who made the key discoveries, who their opponents were and why certain
ideas won. |
