Description: Pre-owned book in good condition with normal wear and tear for its age. Some foxing (discoloration) to the top edge from age and shelf-life. This text is designed for students and anyone else with an interest in the history of life on our planet. The author describes the biological evolution of Earth&;s organisms, and reconstructs their adaptations to the life they led, and the ecology and environment in which they functioned. On the grand scale, Earth is a constantly changing planet, continually presenting organisms with challenges. Changing geography, climate, atmosphere, oceanic and land environments set a stage in which organisms interact with their environments and one another, with evolutionary change an inevitable result. The organisms themselves in turn can change global environments: oxygen in our atmosphere is all produced by photosynthesis, for example. The interplay between a changing Earth and its evolving organisms is the underlying theme of the book.
