Europe
The First 100 Million Years
(Author) Tim FlanneryA place of exceptional diversity, rapid change, and high energy, for the past 100 million years Europe has literally been at the crossroads of the world. By virtue of its geology and geography, evolution in Europe proceeds faster than elsewhere. The continent has absorbed wave after wave of immigrant species over the millennia, taking them in, transforming them, and sometimes hybridizing them. The author explores the nature of Europe, revealing a compelling intellectual drama with a cast of heroic researchers whose discoveries have changed our understanding of life itself.
