From the award-winning author of Manhattan and A Place Called America, Earth takes the long view—celebrating the enduring planet we call home
With air to breathe, a sun to warm it, and water that sustains life, planet Earth is unique in the universe.
Travel back in deep time to learn about Earth’s formation and to discover how life on Earth evolved through the ages. From the Big Bang to its earliest single-celled organisms, to plant life, dinosaurs, mammals, and modern-day human beings—witness how geographical changes and extinction events shaped the planet and the living creatures upon it.
Earth: One Planet’s Epic Story is a sweeping history of planet Earth told through detailed maps, infographics, sidebars, and stunning illustrations that explore how life on Earth is intertwined in a complex and delicate balance.
From Jennifer Thermes, the author and illustrator of Manhattan: Mapping the Story of an Island and A Place Called America, comes a love letter to planet Earth and its natural wonders.
Jennifer Thermes is a map illustrator and the author-illustrator of books for children, including A Place Called America, Manhattan, and Horse Power. She lives in New Hampshire.
