From multi-award-winning author Peter Frankopan comes a dazzling edition of his bestselling book, The Earth Transformed.
The Earth Transformed guides readers on an extraordinary journey through the history of our world.
Illuminating how Earth's changing environment has shaped human history, this accessible retelling captures the impressive scale of Frankopan's original bestseller. Beginning with the Big Bang and spanning volcanic eruptions, changing glaciers, disease outbreaks and extreme weather, it reveals how the natural world has influenced the story of humanity right up to the global warming of today.
Discover how natural forces helped shape everything from the rise of great empires to the fall of mighty cities, transforming societies, reshaping trade routes and ultimately changing the course of world history.
By widening the lens of history beyond people alone to include geology and plate tectonics, crop redistributions, deforestation and much more, Frankopan brings the past vividly to life, showing how humanity has been shaped by nature, and how we have in turn transformed the world around us.
