Paperback. Zustand: Fair. We stand at a crossroads, where comprehension of our place in nature-of our true abilities and of our history-is supremely important. We have formed a global civilisation of unprecedented might, driven forward by the power of our minds-a civilisation which is transforming our Earth. We are masters of te…chnology, and of comprehension, but it's what we believe that may, from now on, determine our fate. 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. Back fifty or so pages have warped on the bottom edge from water damage. Cover lightly creased. 336 pages.

Hardback. Zustand: Good. A biography of our planet - an argument for hope. We stand at a crossroads, where comprehension of our place in nature - of our true abilities and of our history - is supremely important. We have formed a global civilisation of unprecedented might, driven forward by the power of our minds - a civilisatio…n which is transforming our Earth. We are masters of technology, and of comprehension, but it's what we believe that may, from now on, determine our fate. Tim Flannery, acclaimed and bestselling author of The weather makers, suggests that a deeper awareness of our evolutionary history is the key to the survival of our civilisation. Our population will continue to grow and already we must deal with increasingly urgent problems of climate, food, water and biodiversity. This book offers provocative and visionary solutions to these problems. Can we, in the thick of our crisis, find hope and understanding in a new relationship with the planet that is our home? Heavy; DJ; Signed. 352 pages.
