A marvelous narration.<em>Booklist</em></strong></p><p><strong>Paleontologist Riley Blacks vivid writing and Wren Macks wonderstruck narration make these vignettes of prehistoric life on Earth fascinating listening.<em>AudioFile</em></strong></p><p><strong>Winner, A Friend of Darwin Award, 2024</strong></p><p><strong>A gorgeously composed look at the longstanding relationship between prehistoric plants and life on Earth</strong></p><p>Fossils plants allow us to touch the lost worlds from billions of years of evolutionary backstory. Each petrified leaf and root show us that dinosaurs, saber-toothed cats, and even humans would not exist without the evolutionary efforts of their leafy counterparts. It has been the constant growth of plants that have allowed so many of our favorite, fascinating prehistoric creatures to evolve, oxygenating the atmosphere, coaxing animals onto land, and forming the forests that shaped our ancestors anatomy. It is impossible to understand our history without them. Or, our future.</p><p>Using the same scientifically informed narrative technique that listeners loved in the award-winning <em>The Last Days of the Dinosaurs</em>, Riley Black brings us back in time to prehistoric seas, swamps, forests, and savannas where critical moments in plant evolution unfolded. Each chapter stars plants and animals alike, underscoring how the interactions between species have helped shape the world we call home. As the chapters move upwards in time, Black guides listeners along the burgeoning trunk of the Tree of Life, stopping to appreciate branches of an evolutionary story that links the world we know with one we can only just perceive now through the silent stone, from ancient roots to the present.</p><p><strong>A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martins Press.</strong></p>...4682550When the Earth Was Green399554https://www.gandhi.com.mx/when-the-earth-was-green-9781250354211/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4494404/image.jpg?v=638635166457770000InStockMXN99999DIAudiolibro20259781250354211_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9781250354211_<p><strong>A gorgeously composed narrative nonfiction book about the longstanding relationship between prehistoric plants and life on Earth.</strong></p><p>Immaculately framed by ancient stone, the leaves look as if they were pressed between the gray pages of a great geological diary. If we were to see the plant alive, we would simply pass it by, but the fossil is a whisper from a time more than 55 million years ago, when alligators dwelled within the Arctic Circle and gigantic dragonflies buzzed through the air. This little plant is an entry-point into this lost world. Past, present, and future, this ancient specimen has roots in all of them.</p><p>We often retell the history of life on Earth as a series of great moments in which fascinating animal life springs forth, all the while forgetting the plants that made these moments possible. But we cant understand our own history without them. Or, our future. Dinosaurs, saber-toothed cats, and all mammals would be nothing without the efforts of their leafy counterparts. Even humans would likely not exist had plants not taken root to sow the land for our amphibious ancestors.</p><p>Using the same scientifically-informed narrative technique that readers loved in the award-winning <em>The Last Days of the Dinosaurs</em>, in <em>When the Earth Was Green,</em> Riley Black brings readers back in time to prehistoric seas, swamps, forests, and savannas where critical moments in plant evolution unfolded.
