From the Publisher
In this groundbreaking book, Bernard Walton takes us on a journey back through time to explore the unique aspects of our planet. Using his own Time Machine, he brings to life the fast, dramatic events and slow but forceful shifts that have shaped the world we know today. By turning centuries into seconds, we see how continents broke apart and collided to create mountain ranges and rifts. We travel back in time to watch the cause and effect of advancing glaciers, devastating earthquakes, and violent volcanic eruptions. From the earliest life forms to the species that have survived mass extinctions, we explore the evolutionary history of living things and discover how they have shaped entire landscapes. Computer graphics and time–lapse images show how the Earth and its life forms have changed over millions of years. Ranging from dramatic upheavals in prehistory to the variations in the planet’s landscape and environment during the last century, this is the compelling story of time on Earth. Bernard Walton is a member of the BBC Natural History Unit, where he has produced several full–length films and series, including “Time Machine.” He also writes for BBC WILDLIFE MAGAZINE.
