Here on Earth: An Argument for Hope by Tim Flannery

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book edges and corners. Minor mark on tail foredge. Pages are sunned.

Tim Flannery's first major book since The Weather Makers charts the history of life on our planet. Here on Earth, which draws its points of departure from Darwin and Wallace, Lovelock and Dawkins is an extraordinary exploration of evolution and sustainability. Our success as a species has had disastrous effects on many of the Earth's ecosystems and could lead to our downfall. But equally, Flannery argues, we are now equipped as never before to explore our true relationship with the planet on which our biological, economic and cultural futures depend.

Here on Earth is not just a dazzling account of life on our planet. It will change the way you live. (back cover)
