This book invites the reader to take a unique journey through the history of the Solar System, the Earth, its evolving biodiversity and ecosystems, and the current state of the planet.It is an attempt to stimulate the reader’s sense of wonder and fascination with our planet: how it was created, the eons before it was populated by ourselves, how organic life, including humans, developed and evolved, and some of the threats we face during the Late Holocene.The Origins of All Things is well suited for teaching purposes, as it offers a synoptic, well-supported overview of key issues in biology and geology, and an easy introduction to key publications that broaden the scope of each chapter. The book is relevant for students of biology, geography, geology and anyone interested in the origin of life on Earth and its evolution.

Denne bog fortæller levende om berømte meteoritter og de kratere, de efterlader på Jordens overflade. Der er eksempler fra hele verden. Bl.a. det nedslag, som udslettede dinosaurerne fra Jordens overflade. Det kæmpemæssige Tunguska-nedslag i Sibirien, hvis meteorit eksploderede med en kraft, der var 1000 gange større end Hiroshima-bombens. Blandt de danske kan nævnes Århus-meteoritten fra 1951 og Maribo-meteoritten fra 2009.
