Review
'A beautifully detailed account...a gorgeous book.' -- The Guardian (Review), April 7, 2007 - This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
"My favourite non-fiction book this year...[a] highly readable history of the last half-billion years on earth" - Oliver Sacks, Observer Books of the Year
New Scientist, March 31, 2007
Within these pages is one of the greatest stories ever told... It
is as fascinating as it is important.
Sir Peter Crane (Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew 1999-2006)
Beerling gives us the big picture of how plants have changed our
planet - and poses the key question of how we will manage the emerald
planet to ensure the kind of future we desire.
