概要
“Glorious . . . full of achingly beautiful passages, mind-bending conceptual twists, and wonderful characters. Jabr reveals how Earth has been profoundly, miraculously shaped by life.”—Ed Yong, Pulitzer Prize winner and bestselling author of An Immense World
FINALIST FOR THE LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE • FINALIST FOR THE OREGON BOOK AWARD • AN AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR
A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: Smithsonian, Chicago Public Library, Booklist, Scientific American, Nature
A BEST BOOK OF THE SUMMER: The Atlantic and NPR’s Science Friday
One of humanity’s oldest beliefs is that our world is alive. Though once ridiculed by some scientists, the idea of Earth as a vast interconnected living system has gained acceptance in recent decades. We, and all living things, are more than inhabitants of Earth—we are Earth, an outgrowth of its structure and an engine of its evolution. Life and its environment have coevolved for billions of years, transforming a lump of orbiting rock into a cosmic oasis—a planet that breathes, metabolizes, and regulates its climate.
Acclaimed science writer Ferris Jabr reveals a radical new vision of Earth where lush forests spew water, pollen, and bacteria to summon rain; giant animals engineer the very landscapes they roam; microbes chew rock to shape continents; and microscopic plankton, some as glittering as carved jewels, remake the air and sea.
Humans are one of the most extreme examples of life transforming Earth. Through fossil fuel consumption, agriculture, and pollution, we have altered more layers of the planet in less time than any other species, pushing Earth into a crisis. But we are also uniquely able to understand and protect the planet’s wondrous ecology and self-stabilizing processes. Jabr introduces us to a diverse cast of fascinating people who have devoted themselves to this vital work.
Becoming Earth is an exhilarating journey through the hidden workings of our planetary symphony—its players, its instruments, and the music of life that emerges—and an invitation to reexamine our place in it. How well we play our part will determine what kind of Earth our descendants inherit for millennia to come.
批評家のレビュー
“A convincing, mind-opening case that ‘the history of life on Earth is the history of life remaking Earth.’”—The Atlantic
“A glorious paean to our living world.”—Ed Yong, Pulitzer Prize winner and bestselling author of An Immense World
“Infectiously poetic . . . The way he revels in the wonder of this world is exhilarating. . . . The overall uplifting outlook that he imparts is sure to reenergize even the most hardened climate pessimist. An absolutely delightful read.”—Science
“Wide-ranging and thought-provoking . . . The best books manage to entertain, educate, astonish and even galvanize the reader. . . . They expand awareness [and] serve as celebrations and warnings, challenges and pleas. . . . With Becoming Earth, Oregon-based journalist Ferris Jabr achieves all of these aims and more.”—The Guardian
“Poetic . . . punctuated with thunderstorm-like downpours of ideas.”—Sierra
“An electrifying debut . . . With a bit of literary legerdemain . . . Jabr readies us for wonder. . . . We see the planet that sustains it, and us, more clearly, as if with new eyes. We see Earth for the revelation, the anomaly and the prodigy that it is.”—Red Canary Magazine
“A compelling account of interconnectedness . . . Science writer Ferris Jabr weaves a tapestry out of the complex relationships that life forms have not only with each other, but also with the stuff of Earth itself.”—New Scientist
