Twenty-four momentous events throughout time are spread over forty-eight beautifully illustrated layflat pages. Each page spread offers insights into a unique event, explains why it is relevant, and explores how it may have happened.

I frequently teach biology classes for non-science majors who have no concept of the vast timescales of the evolution of the galaxy and of the earth and its lifeforms. If one can truly appreciate the timescale of these events (which is not easy) it puts the current pace of anthropogenic mass extinctions and climate change in dramatic perspective.</blockquote><div class=citation><p><a href=https://biology.ucdavis.edu/people/bruce-rannala>Bruce Rannala</a><p>Ph.D., College of Biological Sciences, University of California, Davis</div></div><div class=quotation><blockquote><p>This is an exceptionally cool book, and one that I would most certainly want on my table at home.
