Otherlands : A World in the Making - A Sunday Times bestseller
Halliday, Thomas
’The best book on the history of life on Earth I have ever read’ Tom Holland
’Epically cinematic... A book of almost unimaginable riches’ Sunday Times
This is the past as
we’ve never seen it before. Otherlands is an epic, exhilarating journey
into deep time, showing us the Earth as it used to exist, and the worlds
that were here before ours.
Award-winning young palaeobiologist
Thomas Halliday immerses us in a series of ancient landscapes, from the
mammoth steppe in Ice Age Alaska to the lush rainforests of Eocene
Antarctica, with its colonies of giant penguins, to Ediacaran Australia,
where the moon is far brighter than ours today. We visit the birthplace
of humanity; we hear the crashing of the highest waterfall the Earth
has ever known; and we watch as life emerges again after the asteroid
hits, and the age of the mammal dawns. Otherlands is a staggering
imaginative feat: an emotional narrative that underscores the tenacity
of life - yet also the fragility of seemingly permanent ecosystems,
including our own.
To read it is to see the last 500 million
years not as an endless expanse of unfathomable time, but as a series of
worlds, simultaneously fabulous and familiar.
