This is not just a book, but a journey into the past, present and future of a beautiful planet where plants plan to gain world domination, all animals are very kind, and trees live for thousands of years, storing memories in their bark. And that planet is Earth! Together with a space traveler from a distant galaxy, readers will look at our planet as if from the outside - and see how amazing it is: how diverse and fragile its nature is, what unusual creatures inhabit it, how unique the culture of earthlings is.
The book consists of 10 popular science essays from various fields of science: biology, cultural studies, history, climatology, ecology, literary criticism. Each of them is accompanied by a detailed spread map, full of informative facts, names and dates.
The text and illustrations of the "atlas" together create a special, almost philosophical mood, pushing to think about the past of the Earth and how you can influence its future.
