Description
Otherlands: A World in the Making
This epic journey takes you back 500 million years, to a time when the Earth was vastly different from the world we know today. Award-winning young palaeobiologist Thomas Halliday guides you through a series of ancient landscapes, from the Ice Age steppe to the lush rainforests of Eocene Antarctica.
Witness the birthplace of humanity, the highest waterfall the Earth has ever known, and the emergence of life after a catastrophic event. Otherlands is a staggering narrative that highlights the tenacity of life, yet also the fragility of ecosystems, including our own.
