The study of Earth is a separate field of science, although it is related to astronomy, biology, physics, and chemistry. Before you is a fascinating biography of our planet, which delves into the mysteries of the scientific, historical, and philosophical symbiosis of humanity and Earth. Viewing the planet as an integrated ecosystem, Elizabeth Erwin-Blankenheim illustrates through examples how the earth, water, living organisms, and atmosphere maintain a superior but fragile balance that is currently under threat. Captivating and at times poetic, the book tells how Earth has influenced living organisms and how living organisms have shaped the face of our planet. "In the mountain rocks and the history of Earth lie the secrets and keys to overcoming current problems in all living organisms' habitats - air, water, land - arising from the instability of global cycles due to climate change. Furthermore, our world, if not the entire Universe, not only reflects such cycles but also adapts to them: Earth rotates, so the sun rises and sets, only to rise again, volcanoes erupt, so the land rises and falls, only to return to magma and rise again. The concept of cyclical nature and what can be called astronomical or planetary variability on geological time scales can contribute to building new, more fruitful relationships with the planet: perhaps to a deeper understanding, respect, and care for our shared environment." (Elizabeth Erwin-Blankenheim)
