Krátky popis
From the celebrated author of The Ends of the World, an epic
biography of the molecule that made – and could now break –
everything we knowAll life is made from CO2 . It was there at
earth’s birth, and throughout evolution. It has kept our planet
habitable for hundreds of millions of years.It has given us all the
splendours of the world we know today. And yet it also holds the
potential for life's destruction. In this gripping adventure
through eras and places, award-winning science journalist Peter
Brannen tells the story of the world’s most important molecule.We
travel from the beginning of time all the way up to our present
reality, witnessing the staggering journey that CO2 has undertaken.
As we watch its movements through the rocks, the air, the oceans
and living beings over four billion years, we come to see more
clearly what it means for us to be churning through ancient life –
in the form of fossil fuels – as we power our industrial world. We
are, Brannen shows, performing an unprecedented experiment on our
planet.If we are to avoid its catastrophic consequences, we must
all begin to deepen our understanding of this curious substance,
which has given us everything from the very first life forms on
earth to the business titans reshaping our planet today.
