In this Very Short Introduction audiobook, Jan Zalasiewicz gives a brief introduction to the fascinating field of geology. Describing how the science developed from its early beginnings, he looks at some of the key discoveries that have transformed it before delving into its various subfields, such as sedimentology, tectonics, and stratigraphy.  

A Silent Spring for our era, this eloquent, urgent, fascinating book reveals how just 50 years of swift and dangerous oceanic change threatens the very existence of life on Earth. Legendary marine scientist Sylvia Earle portrays a planet teetering on the brink of irreversible environmental crisis.

At various times in a span of fifteen years, John McPhee made geological field surveys in the company of Eldridge Moores, a tectonicist at the University of California at Davis. The result of these trips is Assembling California, a cross-section in human and geologic time, from Donner Pass in the Sierra Nevada through the golden foothills of the Mother Lode and across the Great Central Valley to the wine country of the Coast Ranges, the rock of San Francisco, and the San Andreas family of faults.

Australopithecines, dinosaurs, trilobites - such fossils conjure up images of lost worlds filled with vanished organisms. But in the full history of life, ancient animals, even the trilobites, form only the half-billion-year tip of a nearly four-billion-year iceberg. Andrew Knoll explores the deep history of life from its origins on a young planet to the incredible Cambrian explosion, presenting a compelling new explanation for the emergence of biological novelty.

In 1990, Peter Larson, with his team of commercial fossil hunters from the Black Hills Institute, discovered the most complete Tyrannosaurus Rex specimen in history. He dubbed it "Sue" after the field paleontologist who first saw it sticking out of a sandstone cliff on the ranch of Maurice Williams, a Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe member in South Dakota's badlands. Because the skelton was 90% complete, its study promised to yield up priceless information on the life and habits of the T Rex.

Un univers sans projet – L'une des plus grandes révolutions scientifiques des 150 dernières années a probablement été l'idée que l'ensemble de l'Univers – y compris l'univers vivant qui nous entoure et nous inclut – a émergé et évolué en dehors de tout projet, de toute intentionnalité et de toute finalité à partir d'interactions aléatoires entre les composants élémentaires de la matière. Depuis son origine, ce que nous nommons la vie se déploie sur notre planète en l'absence de tout plan préexistant.

The open ocean, far from the shore and miles above the seafloor, is a vast and formidable habitat that is home to the most abundant life on our planet, from giant squid and jellyfish to anglerfish with bioluminescent lures that draw prey into their toothy mouths. Into the Great Wide Ocean takes listeners inside the peculiar world of the seagoing scientists who are providing tantalizing new insights into how the animals of the open ocean solve the problems of their existence.

When it comes to climate change, the media, politicians, and other prominent voices have declared that "the science is settled." In reality, the long game of telephone from research to reports to the popular media is corrupted by misunderstanding and misinformation. Core questions - about the way the climate is responding to our influence, and what the impacts will be - remain largely unanswered. The climate is changing, but the why and how aren't as clear as you've probably been led to believe.

The Grand Canyon’s Secrets takes listeners on a journey through science, history, and myth to answer these questions. Moving beyond tourist brochures, this book explores the canyon as a geological archive, a cultural landmark, and a still-active natural laboratory.

Este libro es una carta de navegación, una guía para orientarnos en medio de la catástrofe. Pues sí: estamos metidos en unacatástrofe climática (o, mejor dicho, nos metieron en ella). Para encontrar las posibles salidas, nos dice Pablo Montaño, lo primero es entender la magnitud del problema: hemos calentado el planeta al punto de alterar los ciclos naturales, ocasionando sequías, megahuracanes, incendios, incremento del nivel del mar. Pero esta crisis tiene un responsable directo: el capitalismo, un modelo económico basado en la extracción, el consumo y la desigualdad.
