Here on Earth is a biography of our planet and out species. What is our history on Earth? Have we always, as we fanned out around the world, left a trail of destruction behind us, a legacy of trashed ecosystems and vanished species? Or have we humans succeeded because we are not only astonishing competitors but great cooperators too? And what is the Earth? Is it a dead lump of rock, or a living thing whose destiny depends on the choices we make? Tim Flannery, acclaimed and bestselling author of The Weather Maker, suggests that the answers to these questions may determine the survival of our civilisation. Our Population will continue to grow and already we must deal with increasingly urgent problems of climate, food, water and biodiversity. Trade Paperback Ed 2010
