### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ History of life on esrth
*by T***D on October 18, 2024*

This is a well written book by a knowledgeable author. If you are interested in learning how life developed from single cell organisms to the complex panorama of life today, this is the book for you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Book!
*by C***S on September 8, 2012*

This is a great book for someone high school or college level. I'd been looking for something to learn more about evolution (I went to a high school where it wasn't allowed to be taught, and in college it was assumed we already knew, so I had only very basic knowledge of it) and this is the perfect book for it. Shows how life started from the simplest forms, all the eras, and periods. It is nice to have some basic science knowledge to grasp what you are reading. But I understood fine with only into biology classes from college and basically nothing from before that. Great book for anyone interested in the subject.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful but difficult
*by N***A on October 30, 2020*

The book is beautifully published, the pictures are clear and colorful, font is easy on your eyes, white paper of very high quality. The amount of information is huge, it is presented in best scientific style: as hypotheses (not facts) with both supporting and critical comments. The language is convoluted and very hard to follow. The Authors thought is would be interesting to the reader to present information in a British Mystery style, but this style works only on the fourth reading, when you have actually become very familiar with the information itself. The book is worth your hard work, but most people will struggle. A person not intimately familiar with the topic is inevitably faced with a large number of new words, they require concentration and good memory, it is already quite an effort, without the need to collect relevant facts from several pages. While reading you may benefit from internet access to google many terms/names/ideas for better understanding. Still, I would buy this book again.
