We are being confronted by a daily barrage of geographical stories on climate change, geopolitics, population growth, migration, dwindling resources, polluted oceans and natural hazards. These are planetary concerns affecting all people and all places.

Sin dalla comparsa della vita sulla Terra, circa 3,6 miliardi di anni fa, è esistita una stretta connessione fra le trasformazioni del pianeta e l'evoluzione degli organismi viventi che hanno popolato i continenti. In alcuni momenti la vita è stata anche sul punto di scomparire dalla Terra, ma a queste fasi di cosiddette crisi biologiche ne sono seguite altre di esplosione evolutiva e diffusione di specie nuove. Il volume ripercorre le tappe principali di questa lunga storia.
