Earth science is a separate field of science, although it is related to astronomy, biology, physics and chemistry. Here is a fascinating biography of our planet, which delves into the secrets of the scientific, historical and philosophical symbiosis of humanity and the Earth. Viewing the planet as an integrated ecosystem, Elisabeth Erwin-Blankenheim illustrates how land, water, living organisms and the atmosphere maintain a fine but fragile balance that is now under threat. Captivating and sometimes poetic, the book tells how the Earth influenced living organisms and how living organisms shaped the appearance of our planet.
“Hidden in the Earth's rocks and history are the secrets and keys to overcoming the current challenges in all living environments - air, water, land - resulting from the instability of global cycles due to climate change. Moreover, our world, if not the entire Universe, not only reflects such cycles, but also adapts to them: the Earth rotates, so the sun rises and sets, only to rise again; Volcanic eruptions occur, so the land rises and falls, only to return to the magma and rebuild itself again. The idea of cyclicality and what might be called astronomical or planetary variability on geological time scales can help us build a new, more rewarding relationship with the planet: perhaps a deeper understanding, respect and care for our shared environment.” (Elisabeth Erwin-Blankenheim)
