Strata: Stories from Deep Time
Science journalist Laura Poppick reads layers of rock as a vast archive of Earth's changing atmosphere, oceans, climate, and life. Traveling to landscapes where deep history is exposed, she follows clues to the rise of oxygen, continental movement, evolutionary innovation, mass extinction, and earlier episodes of global warming. The book introduces the scientists who learn to interpret incomplete geological records and the methods used to date and connect them. Poppick shows how stories written in stone transform our understanding of the present and clarify the scale of the planetary changes now underway.
