<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>They deftly bring together findings from many disparate areas of science in a book that science buffs will find hard to put down. --</b><i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/> Science has worked hard to piece together the story of the evolution of our world up to this point, but only recently have we developed the understanding and the tools to describe the entire life cycle of our planet. Peter D. Ward and Donald Brownlee, a geologist and an astronomer respectively, are in the vanguard of the new field of astrobiology. Combining their knowledge of how the critical sustaining systems of our planet evolve through time with their understanding of how stars and solar systems grow and change throughout their own life cycles, the authors tell the story of the second half of Earth's life. In this masterful melding of groundbreaking research and captivating, eloquent science writing, Ward and Brownlee provide a comprehensive portrait of Earth's life cycle that allows us to understand and appreciate how the planet sustains itself today, and offers us a glimpse of our place in the cosmic order.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Fascinating." --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i> <p/>"Provocative." --<i>The Washington Post</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Peter D.
