The Book of Life.

Stephen J. Gould, editor.

A comprehensive history of the evolution of life on earth, a uniquely ambitious combination of art and science, brilliantly illustrated with paintings, line drawings and diagrams. The story begins billions of years ago with simple single cell organisms and proceeds to the explosion of life in the seas and then its beginnings and development on land until now. This history is filled with catastrophes and other dramatic events as well as periodic extinctions. The story of life on earth  is always compelling, as this superior book shows us.
