This book summarized a lot of fascinating information about how the world as we know it developed and how we discovered what we know about past and present ecosystems and extinction events. It connected this information to our expectations of future changes in the global environment, considering not just the climate and sea level changes that have made headlines but what they might mean to various types of living things. It was pleasant to read, well-referenced, and interesting.

I wanted to like this but I found the prose too darn turgid. It's not you, big book, it's me.
