Prothero, The Evolving Earth

Donald R. Prothero’s lively, entertaining style provides a more student-friendly alternative to Historical Geology titles that have tended to present the topic as a stultifying march of facts. Prothero addresses the essential learning outcomes for these courses that include both geology and non-science majors - revealing the deep history of our planet, the evolution of life upon it, and the evidence for “why and how we know what we know”.
