Lloyd, Christopher:
What on earth happened? : the complete story of the planet, life and people from the big bang to the present day.
Bloomsbury, 2008.
Aus dem Englischen..
Christopher Lloyd tells our story from the very beginning of time to the present day, taking giant narrative leaps across millennia and continents. Along the way, he explains exactly how Muslim conquest gave Spain its paella, how the Earth's collision with another young planet created the moon, how dragonflies the size of seagulls emerged out of the prehistoric waters, and how the Big Bang can be detected in your television. It will appeal to experts, amateur enthusiasts and the simply curious alike.
