A World in the MakingThis book takes us through the natural history of previous forms of life in the most beguiling way. It makes you think about the past differently and it certainly makes you think about the future differently. This is a monumental work and I suspect it will be a very important book for future generations

Oerland
Een reis door de werelden die achter ons liggenTerugreizend in de tijd naar het begin van complex leven, dwars door alle zeven continenten, dompelt Thomas Halliday ons onder in oeroude landschappen. Van de mammoetsteppe in de ijstijd naar de weelderige regenwouden van het Antarctica in het eoceen met zijn kolonies reuzenpinguïns, naar het Australië van het ediacarium waar de maan veel meer roze was dan onze huidige maan. Deze verdwenen werelden lijken verzonnen, maar elke beschrijving ervan – of het nu de kleur is van het schild van een kever of het ritme van een pterosaurus in volle vlucht – is terug te vinden in fossielen. Oerland is een epische, adembenemende reis naar het verre verleden en laat de aarde zien zoals die ooit was, en de werelden die er voor ons waren.

I mondi di ieri. Alle origini della Terra
Quando pensiamo alla Terra, fatichiamo a immaginarla diversa da come la conosciamo. In realtà il nostro pianeta è cambiato moltissimo nel corso della sua lunga esistenza. L¿Antartide, durante l¿Eocene, era ricoperto di foresta tropicale e popolato da pinguini giganti. C¿erano isole, ormai scomparse, abitate da elefanti nani. Gli Pterodattili, padroni del cielo, volavano seguendo un particolare ritmo. Ad un tratto, un gigantesco asteroide sembrava addirittura aver distrutto la vita sul pianeta, ma in realtà l¿ha solo spinta a mutare. Questo libro è un¿esplorazione della Terra sin dai suoi albori, un racconto affascinante dei cambiamenti che si sono verificati durante la sua storia e dei modi in cui la vita ha saputo adattarsi per evitare di scomparire. Un viaggio entusiasmante che ci porta nelle savane del Kenya pliocenico, a osservare un pitone a caccia di australopitechi; tra le saline del bacino vuoto di quello che sarà il mar Mediterraneo, proprio mentre si riversa l¿acqua del Miocene nell¿oceano Atlantico; fin sotto le pozze poco profonde di Ediacara, nell¿Australia sudoccidentale, luogo d¿origine di alcune forme di vita pluricellulare. Thomas Halliday, pluripremiato paleobiologo ed eccezionale narratore, ci conduce alla scoperta di meravigliosi e sorprendenti paesaggi antichi, in una vastissima quanto accurata panoramica sul passato, sul presente e sul futuro del nostro pianeta. Illustrandoci come si formano gli ecosistemi, come le specie migrano, muoiono e vengono sostituite, come si adattano e collaborano, Halliday ci dimostra quanto la vita sulla Terra sia stata e sia tenace. Ma ci ricorda, anche, quanto il nostro mondo sia fragile e in equilibrio precario e, proprio per questo, quanto sia importante salvaguardarlo.

Urwelten
Tropische Wälder in der Antarktis. Ein Wasserfall von unvorstellbarer Größe, der das trockene Mittelmeerbecken mit Leben füllt. Eine Python, die in der kenianischen Savanne frühe Verwandte des Menschen auf Bäume jagt. Die Vergangenheit ist lebendig - und sie hinterlässt Spuren. Der Paläontologe Thomas Halliday entziffert sie origineller denn je. Anschaulich lässt er verlorene Welten wiederaufleben, erklärt, wie Ökosysteme entstehen und verschwinden, wie alte Spezies durch neue verdrängt werden, wie Lebewesen wandern, sich anpassen und entwickeln. In bester Nature-Writing-Tradition führt Halliday durch 500 Millionen Jahre Erdgeschichte und sieben Kontinente - und zeigt, wie wertvoll die fossilen Spuren auch für den Kampf gegen Klimawandel und Artensterben sind.
