#FinishedReading #TimFlannery 's epic story of life in North America, from the continent's formation shortly after the dinosaur-destroying asteroid wiped the slate clean, to the modern industrial economy and conservation movement. Parts are a bit repetitive - there's only so many times an animal can pop into the story, be described as 'odd', then go extinct a few million years later, before I lose track - but I loved the scope and ambition. #Bookstodon @bookstodon
