Description
How to Build a Habitable Planet: The Story of Earth from the Big Bang to Humankind
This comprehensive account of Earth's origin and evolution tells the story of how our planet was assembled from the raw materials of stars, from the formation of the Solar System to the emergence of life and human civilization.
With a broad perspective that spans physics, astronomy, chemistry, geology, and biology, this book explores the search for other habitable worlds in the Milky Way and contemplates our impact on global climate. It concludes by considering how humanity can sustain Earth's habitability and perhaps even participate in further planetary evolution.
