'A masterwork of journalism . . . The theme is profound: Life does not simply exist on Earth; it is Earth . . . Jabr has the curiosity of a reporter, the mind of a scientist, and the lyricism of a poet . . . Popular science writing at its very best' * Kirkus Reviews, starred review * 'Jabr has an uncanny ability to explore and explain some of the greatest mysteries of the universe, and his sentences are both luscious and limpid. He is an exceptional new science writer, and this urgent book is poised to influence larger conversations about the environment.' -- Jury of the Whiting Foundation Grants for Creative Non-Fiction ‘This wondrous book reveals our living planet for the miracle that it is. By the end, you may even feel that 'miracle' is an understatement. The story of Earth is the story of a planet reworked, remade – and, to an astonishing degree, created – by life itself. Wow.’ -- Carl Safina, author of <i>Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel</i> ‘As a writer, Jabr is chimerical: he has the sharp eyes of a scientist, the big ears of a journalist, and the liquid-silver tongue of a poet. There are times, reading this paradigm-shifting book, when you will feel like you are peering right down into the very heart of our living planet. It is, quite simply, a work of genius.’ -- Robert Moor, author of <i>On Trails: An Exploration</i>
