Synopsis A Brief History of Earth by : Andrew H. Knoll
Harvard’s acclaimed geologist “charts Earth’s history in accessible style” (AP) “A sublime chronicle of our planet." –Booklist, STARRED review How well do you know the ground beneath your feet? Odds are, where you’re standing was once cooking under a roiling sea of lava, crushed by a towering sheet of ice, rocked by a nearby meteor strike, or perhaps choked by poison gases, drowned beneath ocean, perched atop a mountain range, or roamed by fearsome monsters. Probably most or even all of the above. The story of our home planet and the organisms spread across its surface is far more spectacular than any Hollywood blockbuster, filled with enough plot twists to rival a bestselling thriller. But only recently have we begun to piece together the whole mystery into a coherent narrative. Drawing on his decades of field research and up-to-the-minute understanding of the latest science, renowned geologist Andrew H. Knoll delivers a rigorous yet accessible biography of Earth, charting our home planet's epic 4.6 billion-year story. Placing twenty first-century climate change in deep context, A Brief History of Earth is an indispensable look at where we’ve been and where we’re going. Features original illustrations depicting Earth history and nearly 50 figures (maps, tables, photographs, graphs).

Synopsis Origins by : Lewis Dartnell
A New York Times-bestselling author explains how the physical world shaped the history of our species When we talk about human history, we often focus on great leaders, population forces, and decisive wars. But how has the earth itself determined our destiny? Our planet wobbles, driving changes in climate that forced the transition from nomadism to farming. Mountainous terrain led to the development of democracy in Greece. Atmospheric circulation patterns later on shaped the progression of global exploration, colonization, and trade. Even today, voting behavior in the south-east United States ultimately follows the underlying pattern of 75 million-year-old sediments from an ancient sea. Everywhere is the deep imprint of the planetary on the human. From the cultivation of the first crops to the founding of modern states, Origins reveals the breathtaking impact of the earth beneath our feet on the shape of our human civilizations.

Synopsis Gods and Men (Ruins of the Earth Series Book 2) by : Christopher Hopper
Humans are herded like sheep for the slaughter. And their only hope for survival lies with a team who just left the planet. Following their successful mission to destroy the slaver ring in New York City, Wic and the members of Phantom Team pass through the Antarctic's origin ring and find themselves deep in the heart of the Androchidan Empire. But as the scope of the alien specie's operation becomes apparent, Phantom Team realizes they can't standby as humanity is culled into submission. Efforts must be made to slow the enemy's progress, if not stop it altogether. Under Wic's leadership, the team devises a plan to infiltrate and neutralize part of the Androchidan's operation. Allies are made, and resources are acquired. But when enemy spies find evidence of collusion, it is only a matter for time before the Phantoms' hopes of thwarting the enemy are dashed. Will Wic and his elite team of warriors succeed in reversing the tide of the Androchidan invasion? Or will they succumb to the unrelenting power of the most notorious slaver operation in the galaxy? Join bestselling authors Christopher Hopper and J.N. Chaney as the Ruins of the Earth hit series continues with Book 2: Gods and Men. Read what fans call "the best military sci-fi of the year," and "Galaxy's Edge meets Expeditionary Force."
