Description

Our sun drives the weather, forms the landscape, and has a profound impact on life on Earth. In "Here Comes the Sun", Steve Jones explores how our nearest star rules our planet, revealing unexpected connections between seemingly disparate phenomena. From the genetic and evolutionary effects of sunlight on snails, fruit-flies, and people, to its influence on human culture and society, Jones charts his research in places hot and cold across the globe. This book is a stunningly evocative and beautifully written exploration of the significance of sunlight in our lives. Packed full of insight, "Here Comes the Sun" offers a fresh perspective on the natural world and our place within it.
