This ebook edition does not include illustrations.
A magisterial exploration of the natural history of the first four thousand million years of life on and in the earth, by one of Britain’s most dazzling science writers.
What do any of us know about the history of our planet before the arrival of man? Most of us have a dim impression of a swirling mass of dust solidifying to form a volcanic globe, briefly populated by dinosaurs, then by woolly mammoths and finally by our own hairy ancestors. This book, aimed at the curious and intelligent but perhaps mildly uninformed reader, brilliantly dispels such lingering notions forever. At the end of the book we understand the complexity of the history of life on earth, and the complexity of how it has come to be understood, as, perhaps, from no other single volume. The result is enthralling.
Note that it has not been possible to include the same picture content that appeared in the original print version.

I am amazed that a book as beautifully written and as thoroughly documented with a lifetime of research as "Life: An Unauthorized Biography" was not a best seller. Upon Googling the name Richard Fortey, I discovered that, in the U.K., Fortey is a well known, highly regarded, and highly acclaimed paleontologist who is the prolific author of over 20 books. This is the first book by Fortey I have read; it will by no means be the last.Product details

Life an Unauthorized Biography Text Only Richard Fortey Reviews
Excellent book, well written and full of information and with a fine sense of humour.
Just a great book. Starts off a tad slow, but soon picks up and from there on in has a nice, quick pace. I found the bits between the beginning of life and, say, 200 million years ago interesting because it highlights so many things and developments which I just had the vaguest idea of previously.
