Author: John Green
In this remarkable symphony of essays adapted and expanded from his ground-breaking, critically acclaimed podcast, John Green reviews different facets of the human-centered planet, from the QWERTY keyboard and Halley’s comet to Penguins of Madagascar, on a five-star scale.
Complex and rich with detail, the reviews have been praised as “observations that double as exercises in memoiristic empathy,” with over 10 million lifetime downloads.
The geological processes that underlie all life on Earth can seem intimidatingly vast, ancient, and sometimes even alien.
Our planet’s dynamics have fascinated humans for millennia, yet only recently have we developed a clear picture of how they work.
This book presents the discoveries and critical scientific advances that inform our understanding of Earth’s origins and the forces driving geological change.
Each chapter tells a key piece of the story, focusing on a major aspect of geology that shapes how we experience our world.
