A worthy successor to my other favorite to recommend history of life book, Evolving Planet, which was published alongside the Field Museum exhibit but which is growing ever-so-much-more dated with each passing year.
It's a lot to parse, with no punches pulled on scientific terminology. A rich place to start an exploration, whether kid or adult.

This is such a beautiful book. The illustrations are stunning and the information is fascinating and up to date (although of course this area of science is ever-evolving.) I wish we'd had this during our first dive into prehistory in our homeschool, but I'm excited to have it now for the family to enjoy and when we come back to prehistory studies this will make a beautiful addition to our studies.

Looking for the perfect book for a biology teacher? This book is beautifully illustrated and fascinating. For people who think that picture books are for babies, this book might go over your head.

Gorgeous. The illustrations just pull you right in and there are so many fantastic looking creatures and organisms and bits and pieces of information. It really makes you feel the weight of four billion years.
