Résumé
Our world has ended five times: it has been broiled, frozen, poison-gassed, smothered, and pelted by asteroids. In this book, Peter Brannen dives into deep time, exploring Earth's past dead ends, and in the process, offers us a glimpse of… our possible future. Part road trip, part history, and part cautionary tale, "The Ends of the World" takes us on a tour of the ways that our planet has clawed itself back from the grave and casts our future in a completely new light. 2017.
