LIVING ON EARTH: Forests, Corals, Consciousness, and the Making of the World

Godfrey-Smith takes us on a grand tour of the history of life on Earth, both on land and in the sea. He considers the impact of language, culture, and writing and asks whether other animals might follow our evolutionary path. He then weighs our unique powers as they relate to factory farming, habitat preservation, climate change, and more. Color photos.
