Book excerpt: Hailed by The New York Times for writing “with wonderful clarity about science . . . that effortlessly teaches as it zips along,” nationally bestselling author Robert M. Hazen offers a radical new approach to Earth history in this intertwined tale of the planet’s living and nonliving spheres. With an astrobiologist’s imagination, a historian’s perspective, and a naturalist’s eye, 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. Lucid, controversial, and on the cutting edge of its field, The Story of Earth is popular science of the highest order. "A sweeping rip-roaring yarn of immense scope, from the birth of the elements in the stars to meditations on the future habitability of our world." -Science "A fascinating story." -Bill McKibben

Book excerpt: A New York Times-bestselling author explains how the physical world shaped the history of our species When we talk about human history, we often focus on great leaders, population forces, and decisive wars. But how has the earth itself determined our destiny? Our planet wobbles, driving changes in climate that forced the transition from nomadism to farming. Mountainous terrain led to the development of democracy in Greece. Atmospheric circulation patterns later on shaped the progression of global exploration, colonization, and trade. Even today, voting behavior in the south-east United States ultimately follows the underlying pattern of 75 million-year-old sediments from an ancient sea. Everywhere is the deep imprint of the planetary on the human. From the cultivation of the first crops to the founding of modern states, Origins reveals the breathtaking impact of the earth beneath our feet on the shape of our human civilizations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questions about the origin and nature of Earth and the life on it have long preoccupied human thought and the scientific endeavor. Deciphering the planet's history and processes could improve the ability to predict catastrophes like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, to manage Earth's resources, and to anticipate changes in climate and geologic processes. At the request of the U.S. Department of Energy, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, National Science Foundation, and U.S. Geological Survey, the National Research Council assembled a committee to propose and explore grand questions in geological and planetary science. This book captures, in a series of questions, the essential scientific challenges that constitute the frontier of Earth science at the start of the 21st century.

Book excerpt: The Early Earth: Accretion and Differentiation provides a multidisciplinary overview of the state of the art in understanding the formation and primordial evolution of the Earth. The fundamental structure of the Earth as we know it today was inherited from the initial conditions 4.56 billion years ago as a consequence of planetesimal accretion, large impacts among planetary objects, and planetary-scale differentiation. The evolution of the Earth from a molten ball of metal and magma to the tectonically active, dynamic, habitable planet that we know today is unique among the terrestrial planets, and understanding the earliest processes that led to Earth’s current state is the essence of this volume. Important results have emerged from a wide range of disciplines including cosmochemistry, geochemistry, experimental petrology, experimental and theoretical mineral physics and geodynamics. The topics in this volume include: Condensation of primitive objects in the solar nebula, planetary building blocks Early and late accretion and planetary dynamic modeling Primordial differentiation, core formation, Magma Ocean evolution and crystallization This volume will be a valuable resource for graduate students, academics, and researchers in the fields of geophysics, geochemistry, cosmochemistry, and planetary science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harvard’s acclaimed geologist “charts Earth’s history in accessible style” (AP) “A sublime chronicle of our planet." –Booklist, STARRED review How well do you know the ground beneath your feet? Odds are, where you’re standing was once cooking under a roiling sea of lava, crushed by a towering sheet of ice, rocked by a nearby meteor strike, or perhaps choked by poison gases, drowned beneath ocean, perched atop a mountain range, or roamed by fearsome monsters. Probably most or even all of the above. The story of our home planet and the organisms spread across its surface is far more spectacular than any Hollywood blockbuster, filled with enough plot twists to rival a bestselling thriller. But only recently have we begun to piece together the whole mystery into a coherent narrative. Drawing on his decades of field research and up-to-the-minute understanding of the latest science, renowned geologist Andrew H. Knoll delivers a rigorous yet accessible biography of Earth, charting our home planet's epic 4.6 billion-year story. Placing twenty first-century climate change in deep context, A Brief History of Earth is an indispensable look at where we’ve been and where we’re going. Features original illustrations depicting Earth history and nearly 50 figures (maps, tables, photographs, graphs).

Book excerpt: "As humans increasingly move into cities, as habitations encroach on flammable landscapes, and as climate change and invasive plants we have introduced alter those landscapes, we need more than ever an understanding of fire in the context of its role in the history of the planet. Is wildfire always a bad thing? to understand wildfire, Andrew Scott explains, we need to appreciate its history stretching back 400 million years. It was Scott who established the identity of fossil charcoal in rocks- our main clue to fires in the deep past. In this book he describes how we have in recent decades pieced together the story of fire through time. The record of fire on Earth tells us that fire has played a role in shaping the planet since vegetation spread on land. It also records evidence that wildfires increase at times of rapid climate change."--book jacket

Book excerpt: Please visit www.drinkingwaterguide.com Did you know more than 99% of your amazing body's molecules are water molecules, and 55% to 60% of your body weight is water? You therefore should make sure that the water in your body is clean, healthy and nutritious, and more importantly one 100% free of contaminants. This book is designed to help you achieve that goal! This book shows, based on the scientific evidence gathered by astronomers, cosmologists, space scientists and researchers, where exactly our planet Earth is located in our Universe, and how exactly our planet Earth possessed that much liquid water that we drink to survive today. The story begins with the amazing descriptions about the formation of our Universe after the Big Bang, trillions of stars, our spiral-shaped Milky Way Galaxy, our Solar System, our Sun, our planet Earth and our Moon. Drinking Water Guide teaches that we should avoid tap water, well water or bottled water of any kind, and drink only "purified water" that is either neutralized or slightly alkalized, and remineralized up to a TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) level of 200 ppm. Drinking Water Guide also teaches how to purchase or make your own purified water, and how to remineralize and alkalize the purified water with sample experiments conducted at home. "The Origin of the Earth's Water" is the compacted version of the original book "Drinking Water Guide (ISBN # 9780973112061)", which has 20 chapters and 522 pages. "The Origin of the Earth's Water" is compiled with 5 important chapters of the original book "Drinking Water Guide." TABLE OF CONTENTS: DRINKING WATER GUIDE Drinking Water Guide book has 522 pages, 20 Chapters, 121 Figures & 38 Tables. The Origin of the Earth's Water book has 134 pages, 5 Chapters, 28 Figures & 1 Table. The Paperback for both books looks like a workbook (8" x 10" size).

The Origin of the Earth's Water book has 134 pages, 5 Chapters, 28 Figures & 1 Table. BOOK'S FINAL MESSAGE: The water we drink today is at least 4.54 billion years old? Our planet Earth inherited up to 50% of its water from the interstellar medium even before it was born, and the remaining water came from the bombardment of asteroids during the early stages of our solar system formation. Our ancestors' belief that comets brought water to our planet Earth was however proved by our scientists to be a myth. Please visit www.drinkingwaterguide.com, and click on "Table of Contents".
