Otherlands by Thomas Halliday

challenging informative inspiring slow-paced

4.5

Quite mind-stretching at times as it takes an innovative approach to try and illustrate the changes across geological timescales. With regular "sorry, what?!" moments it gives a very thoughtful view on the resilience of life on earth (which is just as well given current trajectories). A book to enjoy slowly, each chapter in it's own right - simply to avoid getting too overwhelmed by the otherworldlyness of previous epochs.
