Description: The ancient Greeks called it Gaia; the Romans Terra. We know it simply as Earth, the planet we call home. And what a planet it is. Formed around 4.6 billion years ago from the debris of the big bang and long-dead stars, at first it was nothing special, but somehow it evolved to become the most amazing place in the known Universe. The only living planet we know of, it also has a very unusual moon, a remarkably dynamic surface, a complex atmosphere and a deeply mysterious interior. This is Planet Earth is dedicated to the wonders of Planet Earth. Its past is long and dramatic and its future shrouded in mystery. Yet despite centuries of research, only now are we starting to understand Earth's complexity.

Review: "Your ultimate guide to the world we call home" is much more than just an overview of Planet Earth, and I was delighted to discover this is in fact a well written and highly informative Geology Text book. Well done New Scientist!

Review: I was not university educated, only to A level in physics, chemistry, botany and zoology, but the first few chapters were way above my head. I just feel that this was aimed a people with degrees in the subjects covered.
