Origins by Ron Redfern

Changes in climate and sea level are nothing new; over the last 700 million years, the Earth has been slowly but constantly changing from within. This fascinating story of our planet explores how continents have come and gone, climate patterns have altered and a multitude of life forms battled for survival in an unstable environment. The entertaining and accessible text displays a remarkable breadth and diversity of knowledge, drawing on discoveries in natural history, geology, geography and palaeontology to unravel the secrets of millions of years. Glorious panoramic photography of key sites reveals the physical legacy of the Earth's volatile past in a striking celebration of inevitable global change.
Following a successful career in research and development for food and pharmaceutical companies, Ron Redfern became a bestselling science writer, illustrating his books with spectacular interpretative landscape photography. He has also received many prestigious literary and academic awards for his work.
