Review
The book perfectly illustrates the beauty, the enigmatic complexity and the insidiously violent character of the Earth. ( The Holocene, May 2009)
Anyone interested in planet Earth, whether in its rocks and soil, or the animals and plants which inhabit it, or in the people who have in the past tried to explore, describe, and explain it, will find something of interest here. Recommended. (Choice, November 2008)
