I find this book very enjoyable to read. The writing is clear and accessible, and perfect for some one like me who understands so little scientific language.

The authors, Peter Ward, a professor of biology and earth & space sciences, and Joe Kirschvink, a professor of geobiology, get high marks for presenting an account of science at work, with competing interpretations and theories, explanations of just what is measured and how it is interpreted—in other words the gory details of how science actually works. Their topic—the geological, biological, chemical and physical history of the evolution of the earth and life upon it--- is of great interest to everyone.

Thought provoking and very interesting work. I'd really like an illustrated version as sometimes got lost in detail for lack of examples.
