A New History of Life Audible Audio Edition Stuart Sutherland The Great Courses Books Reviews

• I have listened to this set of CDs at least 5 times. I loved the set. To get a perspective on the history of life from 4.6 bn years ago to the present is incredible. As I study climate change, it also gives me invaluable perspective on art of what we are living through. But also the history made readable to 'lay readers' (some background in bio. sci.) this listening experience is great. It describes some of the mass extinctions, and the possible mechanisms for the rebirth of life after, e.g. 'snow ball earth' when an ice age had the entire earth covered! Also, the inevitable production of life under the right circumstances to begin from carbon and nitrogen molecules was interesting and entirely believable.
  He also takes you through the development of various life forms, with the reminders that we are talking about 'geologic time'. A great 'read' (I listened!) and will continue to enjoy this set of CDs for some time. Always something more to pick up on with another listen! Thanks!
