Review
'Earth: Evolution of a Habitable World is thrilling reading ... The mastery of this text will give the reader new perspectives on the interaction between the evolution of Earth and life, life's place in the Universe, how it might have started, and where it might be going.' Richard N. Zare, Stanford University
'... the book is, in many respects, a tour de force ... a remarkably broad-visioned treatment of the origin and evolution of Earth ... I believe this to be an outstanding book.' Eugene H. Levy, University of Arizona
' ... an excellent, up-to-date introduction'. New Scientist
'The book is splendidly illustrated with copious figures and diagrams. It provides what is perhaps the best currently available overview of the long and still continuing story of the Earth. Anyone even remotely interested in planetary science should have a copy of this book on their shelf.' R. L. S. Taylor, Spaceflight

'Lunine's Earth: Evolution of a Habitable World provides an excellent, up-to-date introduction to this way of looking at our world. It should prove attractive to the new generation of cosmological rock enthusiasts.' New Scientist
' ... the book is an interesting and fascinating novelty.' Earth, Moon and Planets
'... this book is easy to read but it should also appeal to non-science students who are interested in the Earth on which they live.' Elizabeth Maddocks, The Open University Geological Society
