Bibliographic Details Publisher: John Wiley & Sons Inc Published date: 2007 Size: 7 x 9.5 inches Weight: 3.3 pounds Pages: 1500 Similar books Life by Richard Fortey By one of Britain's most gifted scientists: a magnificently daring and compulsively readable account of life on Earth (from the "big bang" to the advent of man), based entirely on the most original of all sources--the evidence of fossils.With excitement and driving intelligence, Richard Fortey guides us from the barren globe spinning in space, through the very earliest signs of life in the sulphurous hot springs and volcanic vents of the young planet, the appearance of cells, the slow creation of an atmosphere and the evolution of myriad forms of plants and animals that could then be sustained, including the magnificent era of the dinosaurs, and on to the last moment before the debut of Homo sapiens.Ranging across multiple scientific disciplines, explicating in wonderfully clear and refreshing prose their findings and arguments--about the origins of life, the causes of species extinctions and the first appearance of man--Fortey weaves this history out of the most delicate traceries left in rock, stone and earth. He also explains how, on each aspect of nature and life, scientists have reached the understanding we have today, who made the key discoveries, who their opponents were and why certain ideas won. Brimful of wit, fascinating personal experience and high scholarship, this book may well be our best introduction yet to the complex history of life on Earth.A Book-of-the-Month Club Main Selection With 32 pages of photographs The Lying Stones of Marrakech by Stephen Jay Gould Essays cover a wide range of topics, including the nature of fossils, evolution, and biodiversity. Origins of Life by Freeman J. Dyson Surveys theories and experiments concerned with the origin of life. Suggests that life actually began twice, first with cells and later with genes. Proposes that a search for chemical models of primitive life highly tolerant of errors may lead to the recognition of structures not involving exact replication of molecules. What Is Life? by Lynn Margulis Things Come to Life by Henry Harris
