Book Synopsis The Story of Earth by : Robert M. Hazen
Download or read book The Story of Earth written by Robert M. Hazen and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-07-30 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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

Download or read book Origins written by Lewis Dartnell and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2019-05-14 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Book Synopsis Revolutions that Made the Earth by : Tim Lenton
Download or read book Revolutions that Made the Earth written by Tim Lenton and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2013-04-11 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Earth that sustains us today was born out of a few remarkable, near-catastrophic revolutions, started by biological innovations and marked by global environmental consequences. The revolutions have certain features in common, such as an increase in complexity, energy utilization, and information processing by life. This book describes these revolutions, showing the fundamental interdependence of the evolution of life and its non-living environment. We would not exist unless these upheavals had led eventually to 'successful' outcomes - meaning that after each one, at length, a new stable world emerged. The current planet-reshaping activities of our species may be the start of another great Earth system revolution, but there is no guarantee that this one will be successful. The book explains what a successful transition through it might look like, if we are wise enough to steer such a course. This book places humanity in context as part of the Earth system, using a new scientific synthesis to illustrate our debt to the deep past and our potential for the future.

Book Synopsis How the Earth Was Formed by : Max B. Frederick
Download or read book How the Earth Was Formed written by Max B. Frederick and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-12-31 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book compares knowledge of pre-historic things from two dissimilar sources. One source is ancient, the other modern. It presents knowledge from both sources in chronological order and shows the remarkable similarity demonstrating the fact the ancient source of knowledge had it right long before modern science discovered the same things. The first source is the written record in ancient scriptures of the bible. The second source is the evidence that is recorded in geology and astronomy. This information is presented here as a timeline of how everything around us came to be what it is today. Before the beginning of the twentieth century, around the year 1900, nobody knew that "And the Earth was without form and void. And Darkness was upon the face of the deep..." The second verse of the bible, Genesis 1:2 (KJV) was an introduction to several biblical accounts that told the same story as this book tells. Scientists back then had no knowledge of the specific event it was referring to. That event, and the circumstances around it, had not yet been discovered by modern science and the long ago understanding of what it meant had long since been lost and the verse was simply preserved and carried along as some religious theobabble by dedicated theologians. Theologians did not recognize it for what it said. They did not even imagine such an event was in the history of our planet. They assumed it referred to something else. This and many other biblical references referring to the same thing appeared to talk of water covering the earth. Theologians assumed they were references to the flood of Noah. They did not even suspect they referred to an earlier more significant event that is now becoming realized by modern science. Scientists did not understand the significance of the event that verse referred to. Little did they know that the continents are temporary in the sense of the long run. Little did they know that the continents are floating, buoyed up by the mantle below. Little did they know that there had been a time when the entire surface of this planet had been covered with water before the continents were formed. It is the dry land of those continents that verse refers to, not the planet earth. It should be obvious. The bible itself defines the word earth, to be the dry land. It is described in detail in the ancient scriptures: And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry [land] appear: and it was so. And God called the dry [land] Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that [it was] good. Gen 1:9,10 You see, the word "Earth" seen in the second verse of the bible, does not refer to the planet, but to the solid surface parts of the planet as opposed to the oceans. It refers to the "dry land" of the continents. At one time in the history of our planet, the "earth" was not formed into the dry land of the continents. And now it is. Currently, only about 29 percent of the surface of out planet is above sea level. The continents are isolated piles of earth piled up over three miles high above the sea floor. That leaves the rest of the solid surface of the planet-about 71 percent of it, to be a sea floor an average of over two and a half miles below sea level. It was a big deal, and still is. As of yet, the mechanism that caused the "forming of the earth,"-the gathering of the dry land into continents, - is still little understood. That mechanism still operates today, keeping the dry land piled up into continents so they do not spread out over the sea floor under the ocean. It is a situation that is unique to our planet alone among other nearby heavenly bodies studied by scientists.

Book Synopsis Origin and Evolution of Earth by : National Research Council
Download or read book Origin and Evolution of Earth written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2008-08-04 with total page 150 pages. 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.

The first source is the written record in ancient scriptures of the bible. The second source is the evidence that is recorded in geology and astronomy. This information is presented here as a timeline of how the earth was formed. The inspiration for the name of this book comes from the second verse in the bible. "And the Earth was without form and void. And Darkness was upon the face of the deep..." Genesis 1:2 Down through the ages, the original meaning of that verse became lost. Then people thought they found it again. From science they learned that at one time in the early history of our planet, it was a chaotic mass of swirling gasses. But now we know that is not what that verse is about at all.

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).
