A Brief History of Earth: Four Billion Years in Eight Chapters - Andrew H. Knoll - A Short Summary & Review

 

A short summary of A Brief History of Earth:

A biography of our home planet.

My favorite Andrew H. Knoll quote from the book:

'The face you see in the mirror may be decades old, but it is made of elements formed billions of years ago in ancient stars."

Questions to ponder while reading:

Did you realize how old the earth really was?

Did you realize how diverse the earth really is?

My review:

An easy-to-understand study of life on earth.

A great summary of earth sciences.

A perfect foray into popular science.
