How much of our own planet do we actually understand? One of humanity’s oldest beliefs is that our world is alive. Though once ridiculed by some scientists, the idea of Earth as a vast interconnected living system has gained acceptance in recent decades. In author Ferris Jabr's new book Becoming Earth: How Our Planet Came to Life, Jabr examines the connections between life and geology through the many ways that living creatures, including our own species, have transformed the atmosphere, oceans, and continents throughout the planet’s history. Becoming Earth explores ecosystems, discussing plants, weather, animal engineering, the microscopic and the microbial. Additionally, Jabr scrutinizes the human impact on Earth, noting the ways that people have altered existence through fossil fuel consumption, agriculture, and pollution.
Portland, Oregon! One week from today, please join me at Powell's City of Books for the launch of my debut book, Becoming Earth
