Blurb of the book about the geological history of Earth

A lively account of the history of our planet, from its earliest origins to the present day, told through the major geological changes and scientific breakthroughs.

Where has our planet come from, and what lies beneath its surface? How have we come to understand its past and present environments, and what does its future look like? Thanks to scientists who study its rocks, fossils, and landscapes, we know that Earth history spans over four and a half billion years. But there is still much more to discover.

This Little History recounts our planet’s fascinating past and the science which has shaped how we think about it. Taking us from the formation of the Solar System, the evolution of our atmosphere and oceans, and the first signs of life, through to dinosaurs, mammals, and the eventual arrival of humans, Woodward shows us the full span of Earth history, from deep time to the Anthropocene. Along the way, we learn about the major breakthroughs of the pioneering scientists who have unearthed our planet’s secrets.

From fossils of ancient creatures to the very air we breathe, this is the essential guide to our world.

Jamie Woodward is professor of physical geography at the University of Manchester. He has published extensively on environmental change and recent Earth history. His books include The Ice Age: A Very Short Introduction and The Physical Geography of the Mediterranean.

William Bynum A Little History of Science review en recensie

  • “One advantage of a brief history is that this impressive roll of modern achievements unfolds while the leaps of prior centuries are still fresh in mind. That juxtaposition of what we know now verses what we knew then is breathtaking to contemplate. In Mr Bynum’s telling, a little history goes a long way.” (Alan Hirshfeld, Wall Street Journal)
