The story of Earth : the first 4.5 billion years, from stardust to living planet
Hazen, Robert M., 1948-2013
Books, Manuscripts
With an astrobiologist's imagination, a historian's perspective, and a naturalist's eye, Robert M. Hazen calls upon twenty-first-century discoveries that have revolutionized geology and enabled scientists to envision Earth's many iterations in vivid detail-from the mile-high lava tides of its infancy to the early organisms responsible for more than two-thirds of the mineral varieties beneath our feet.
