Derin Zamandan Notlar

Londranin gizli fosillerinden Iskoc Daglik Bölgesinin 3 milyar yillik kayaliklarina, Kaliforniyadaki son teknoloji ürünü laboratuvarlardan Bati Napolinin yesil tepelerinin altinda sakli tehlikeli volkanik olusumlara uzanan bir yolculuga cikin. Dünyanin yasam öyküsünün üzerine yazildigi yerleri kesfedin. Helen Gordon, bu gezegenin destanini okuyabilen olaganüstü bilim insanlarina bir romanci gözüyle bakiyor. Evrim ya da kuantum mekanigi ile karsilastirilabilecek önemde bir bulus olan ancak daha genc ve hala gizemle örtülü levha tektonigi gibi her seyin temelini olusturan teoriyi inceliyor; ve üzerinde biz olsak da olmasak da gezegenimizin gelecegi konusunda sorgulamalara girisiyor. Dünyanin korkutucu degisiminin esiginde oldugumuzbir dönemde, büyük resmin icindeki yerimizi kavramaya calismanin zamani gelmedi mi sizce Olaganüstü... Bunu sadece bir tarih calismasi olarak adlandirmakHelen Gordonun azmine haksizlik olur Simon Ings, Daily Telegraph

Notes from Deep Time

The Earth writes its own story in the landscape. A novelist sets out on a journey to piece it together.

Geheimen uit de diepe tijd

Prachtig geschreven narratieve non-fictie die wetenschap, persoonlijke reflecties, opvallende geschiedenissen en grappige anekdotes vermengt met filosofie Het verhaal van de aarde staat in ons landschap geschreven: het is te zien in de vorm van de heuvels, de kleuren van stenen en weelderige plantengroei op verrassende plekken. Helen Gordon trekt eropuit om dat epische verhaal te lezen. Haar odyssee voert haar van fossielen in Londen naar de drie miljard jaar oude rotsen van de Schotse Hooglanden, en van een ultramodern aardbevingsmonitoringsysteem in Californië naar een van ’s werelds gevaarlijkste slapende vulkanen, verborgen onder de groene heuvels van Napels. Bij elke stap merkt ze dat de ogenschijnlijk vaste grond onder onze voeten niet helemaal is wat die lijkt. Gordons reis door de tijd brengt haar in contact met onderzoekers die licht schijnen op verschillende theorieën – van platentektoniek tot evolutieleer – maar ze leert ook dat er nog veel geheimen zijn om te ontdekken. Ze kijkt vooruit naar de werelden die nog komen, wanneer alleen de sporen van ons mensen zijn overgebleven, als raadsels voor aardbewoners na ons. Diep in de tijd, ontdekt Gordon, is alles tijdelijk. Botten worden rots. Zand wordt gebergte. Oceanen worden steden. En het leven gaat door. In de pers ‘Het mooie van Helen Gordons grondig doordachte en verreikende boek is dat het het duizelingwekkende geologische begrip van tijd inzichtelijk maakt.’ The Financial Times ‘Helen Gordon is erin geslaagd geologische verhalen te doordrenken met schoonheid en menselijkheid.’ Mail on Sunday ‘Dit is een van die boeken die je totaal anders naar de wereld leert kijken, en dat het dat doet met humor, wijsheid en in een kristalheldere stijl draagt alleen maar bij aan het leesplezier.’ Max Porter, auteur van Verdriet is het ding met veren
