If the age of Earth was scaled to 24 hours, humans would only have come into existence in the last 38 seconds. 22 minutes ago, an asteroid hit Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, wiping out (almost) all dinosaurs. Across the eons, Earth has been home to forest-dwelling mega-penguins, a mile-high waterfall in the Mediterranean, seas of molten lava, and many other fascinating sights. This book provides snapshots of the most wonder-filled moments from our planet's vast history, as well as the science and geography that created them.
