Dr. Jochen Robert Moehr: I have been a observer and enthusiast of Nature through 80 yeast of my life, and have passionetely collected a library of great books,

But David Attenborrough's book eclipses them all. His language is engaging, his knowledge is profound.

But most of all he has a manner of emphazising the things, processes and driving forces that resulted in surrounding us with the spectacular evidence of life that we are able to enjoy - as long as we don't continue to trash it!

I love it as a book, but I have particularly great fun reading it by my computer, were I can, whenever he mentions a species or a process that I am not familiar with, I can find it in Google, Google Images, on Youtube or Google Earth. This slows down the reading speed, but improves the insights and understanding tremendously!

And, I must say, there is a rare book, where I do feel that I learn 2 or 3 things, which I consider important on every and absolutely every page!

I cannot recommend this book highly enough to any nature enthusiast, and especially to all who would like to become one!

J. Drew: This is a simply wonderful book. And the wonderful David Attenborough both writes a book that blows your mind and makes you look at everything around you with the an ever more increased wonder then you could have ever thought possible in a voice that will make you listen, feel relaxed and allow your mind to gently explode and splatter on the walls around you. Whereas his documentaries make you watch and wonder at amazing and wondrous miracles of life, this puts everything into context with a narrative that tells us how we actually got here. It begins with how we are able to understand the past through fossils and now through genetic decoding. The story starts 3 1/2 billion years ago as life first emerged a simple forms of bacteria which slowly and gradually evolved over millions of years. The Grand Canyon layers of rock beautifully explain some of the story and stretch back millions of years. And then plants and trees and early marine, sea like creatures through to dinosaurs which were wiped out in the fifth (and currently last) mass extinction event. Genes crested ever more evolving and complicated life. Then we learn how flowers create petals and colour - so they could develop...
