Fantastic companion to the brilliant BBC documentary of the same title. Excellent photography throughout. Love it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fascinating and enlightening in equal measure
*by R***R on 24 August 2024*

Although I have not watched all of his series or read all of “Earth” in detail, I have read and watched enough to know the well-known television personality (live and recorded) and the protestor on many nature related subjects is much more; a polymath and serious scientist unafraid to tackle such challenging subjects, he brings his infectious enthusiasm to the task. Having heard him on biology, ecology, his own life and his autism, I was not expecting the depth and breadth of the television programme so clearly mirrored in the book. “Earth” is a high-quality, medium format book containing excellent diagrams, illustrations and exceptional photographs to accompany detailed text explaining each chapter subject in depth. Four billion years is a long time to cover in one book, especially years as complex or slow to develop as our Earth’s existence. Many subjects are brought to bear on his search - astronomy, biology, ecology, chemistry, physics, plate tectonics - to name a few. I bought it to read after watching each programme but have only viewed one so far. However, one was sufficient for me to purchase the book and I have not been disappointed. It is very detailed and the text is quite small - 11 point Times Roman, perhaps - but I look forward to reading the rest and watching the remaining programmes. Highly recommended.
