520    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
