It makes you think about the past differently and it certainly makes you think about the future differently. This is a monumental work and I suspect it will be a very important book for future generations -- Ray Mears, Chair of the Wainwright Prize for UK Nature Writing\u003cbr\u003eThe word \"original\" is really overworked. But Thomas Halliday has produced a book the like of which I have never come across -- Jeremy Paxman\u003cbr\u003eAn extraordinary history of our almost-alien Earth... Epically cinematic... The writing is so palpably alive. A book of almost unimaginable riches.  It is a book that will make its own solid and lasting contribution. It could well be the best I read in 2022 - and I know it's only January -- James McConnachie * Sunday Times *\u003cbr\u003eA poet among palaeontologists -- David P. Barash * Wall Street Journal *\u003cbr\u003eA mesmerising journey into those vast stretches of Earth's pre-history that lie behind us, on such a scale that you experience a kind of temporal vertigo just thinking about it... [Halliday is] a brilliant writer, his lyrical style vividly conjuring myriad lost worlds... It's obviously a bit of a gamble choosing one's Book of the Year in March - but there's a very good chance already that mine will be \u003ci\u003eOtherlands\u003c\/i\u003e. Stunning -- Christopher Hart * Mail on Sunday *\u003cbr\u003eAn impressive, tightly packed, long view of the natural world. In cinematic terms, this book would be a blockbuster... Riveting scientific reading; a remarkable achievement of imagination grounded in fact -- NJ McGarrigle * Irish Times *\u003cbr\u003eAn immersive world tour of prehistoric life... Halliday never loses sight of the bigger picture, nimbly marshalling a huge array of insights thrown up by recent research. Each chapter gives not only a vivid snapshot of an ecosystem in action but also insights into geology, climate science, evolution and biochemistry... Mind-blowing -- Neville Hawcock * Financial Times *\u003cbr\u003eA sweeping, lyrical biography of Earth -- the geology, the biology, the extinctions and the ever-shifting ecology that defines our living planet -- Adam Rutherford * BBC Radio 4 Start the Week *\u003cbr\u003eSuperb...

A work of immense imagination [...] rooted firmly in the actual science -- Stuart Kelly * Scotsman *\u003cbr\u003eA fascinating journey through Earth's history... [Halliday] is appropriately lavish in his depiction of the variety and resilience of life, without compromising on scientific accuracy... To read \u003ci\u003eOtherlands\u003c\/i\u003e is to marvel not only at these unfamiliar lands and creatures, but also that we have the science to bring them to life in such vivid detail -- Gege Li * New Scientist *\u003cbr\u003eRiveting... An intense and imaginative reading of fossils as runes that tell us about our own times, and possible future. Halliday is a Time Lord at heart, eager to lead us back to, say, the Permian or Oligocene epochs and unpack their lessons for 21st Century humanity. For all its scholarship, this is a very readable book, full of literary reference and accessible metaphor. \u003ci\u003eOtherlands\u003c\/i\u003e is also a wise manual for adaptive change rather than a prophecy of inevitable doom -- Matthew D'Ancona * Tortoise *\u003cbr\u003eThomas Halliday offers a 550m-year tour of the incredible diversity of life that has existed on our planet... Halliday's trick is to tell his story in reverse. The first hominids exit early; the continents merge and drift and merge again; the sounds of the cretaceous forest fall silent as we pass beyond the evolution of birdsong. Life retreats from land to ocean, and the first eyes give way to the sightless world of the Ediacaran, an alien realm of crawling beings -- David Farrier * Prospect *\u003cbr\u003eA brilliant series of reconstructions of life in the deep past, richly imagined from the fine details of the fossil record...

Epic in scope and executed with charming enthusiasm, \u003ci\u003eOtherlands\u003c\/i\u003e looks set to be a big talking point for fans of non-fiction in 2022 -- ‘The 15 New Novels And Non-Fiction Books To Read In 2022’ * Mr Porter *\u003cbr\u003ePalaeobiologist Thomas Halliday embraces a yet more epic timescale in \u003ci\u003eOtherlands: A World in the Making\u003c\/i\u003e, touring the many living worlds that preceded ours, from the mammoth steppe in glaciated Alaska to the lush rainforests of Eocene Antarctica. If you have ever wondered what sound a pterosaur's wings made in flight, this is the book for you -- 'The best science books coming your way in 2022’ * New Scientist *\u003cbr\u003eFull of wonder and fascination, exquisitely written, this is time travel of spectacular dimensions - a journey into our planet's evolution and the world in which we live. A compellingly important read -- Isabella Tree, author of WILDING\u003cbr\u003eThe best book on the history of life on Earth I have ever read -- Tom Holland, author of DOMINION\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThomas Halliday's debut is a kaleidoscopic and evocative journey into deep time. He takes quiet fossil records and complex scientific research and brings them alive - riotous, full-coloured and three-dimensional. You'll find yourself next to giant two-metre penguins in a forested Antarctica 41 million years ago or hearing singing icebergs in South Africa some 444 million years ago. Maybe most importantly, \u003ci\u003eOtherlands \u003c\/i\u003eis a timely reminder of our planet's impermanence and what we can learn from the past\u003c\/p\u003e -- Andrea Wulf, author of THE INVENTION OF NATURE\u003cbr\u003eDeep time is very hard to capture - even to imagine - and yet Thomas Halliday has done so in this fascinating volume. He wears his grasp of vast scientific learning lightly; this is as close to time travel as you are likely to get -- Bill McKibben, author of FALTER\u003cbr\u003eAn absolutely gripping adventure story, exploring back through the changing vistas of our own planet's past. Earth has been many different worlds over its planetary history, and Thomas Halliday is the perfect tour guide to these past landscapes, and the extraordinary creatures that inhabited them. \u003ci\u003eOtherlands \u003c\/i\u003eis science writing at its very finest -- Lewis Dartnell, author of ORIGINS\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eOtherlands\u003c\/i\u003e is one of those rare books that's both deeply informative and daringly imaginative. It will change the way you look at the history of life, and perhaps also its future -- Elizabeth Kolbert, author of THE SIXTH EXTINCTION\u003cbr\u003eThis stunning biography of our venerable Earth, detailing her many ages and moods, is an essential travel guide to the changing landscapes of our living world. As we hurtle into the Anthropocene, blindly at the helm of this inconstant planet, Halliday gives us our bearings within the panorama of deep time. Aeons buckle under his pen: the world before us made vivid; the paradox of our permanence and impermanence visceral. Wonderful -- Gaia Vince, author of TRANSCENDENCE\u003cbr\u003eStirring, surprising and beautifully written, \u003ci\u003eOtherlands\u003c\/i\u003e offers glimpses of times so different to our own they feel like parallel worlds. In its lyricism and the intimate attention it pays to nonhuman life, Thomas Halliday's book recalls Rachel Carson's \u003ci\u003eUnder the Sea Wind\u003c\/i\u003e, and marks the arrival of an exciting new voice -- Cal Flynn, author of ISLANDS OF ABANDONMENT\u003cbr\u003eImaginative -- Andrew Robinson * Nature *\u003cbr\u003eThis study of our prehistoric earth is \"beyond cinematic\", James McConnachie says. \"It could well be the best book I read in 2022 -- Robbie Millen and Andrew Holgate, Books of the Year * Sunday Times *\u003cbr\u003eIt's phenomenally difficult for human brains to grasp deep time. Even thousands of years seem unfathomable, with all human existence before the invention of writing deemed 'prehistory', a time we know very little about. Thomas Halliday's book \u003ci\u003eOtherlands\u003c\/i\u003e helps to ease our self-centred minds into these depths. Moving backwards in time, starting with the thawing plains of the Pleistocene (2.58 million - 12,000 years ago) and ending up in the marine world of the Ediacaran (635-541 mya), he devotes one chapter to each of the intervening epochs or periods and, like a thrilling nature documentary, presents a snapshot of life at that time. It's an immersive experience, told in the present tense, of these bizarre 'otherlands', populated by creatures and greenery unlike any on Earth today -- Books of the Year * Geographical *\u003cbr\u003eEach chapter of this literary time machine takes us further back in prehistory, telling vivid stories about ancient creatures and their alien ecologies, ending 550 million years ago -- The Telegraph Cultural Desk, Books of the Year * Telegraph *\u003cbr\u003eThe largest-known asteroid impact on Earth is the one that killed the dinosaurs 65?million years ago, but that is a mere pit stop on Thomas Halliday's evocative journey into planetary history in \u003ci\u003eOtherlands\u003c\/i\u003e. Each chapter of this literary time machine takes us further back into the deep past, telling vivid stories about ancient creatures and their alien ecologies, until at last we arrive 550?million years ago in the desert of what is now Australia, where no plant life yet covers the land. Halliday notes the urgency of reducing carbon emissions in the present to protect our settled patterns of life, but adds: \"The idea of a pristine Earth, unaffected by human biology and culture, is impossible.\" It's an epic lesson in the impermanence of all things -- Steven Poole, Books of the Year * Telegraph *\u003cbr\u003eThe world on which we live is \"undoubtedly a human planet\", Thomas Halliday writes in this extraordinary debut. But \"it has not always been, and perhaps will not always be\". Humanity has dominated the Earth for a tiny fraction of its history. And that History is vast. We tend to lump all dinosaurs, for example, into one period in the distant past. But more time passed between the last diplodocus and the first tyrannosaurus than has passed between the last tyrannosaurus and the present day. A mind-boggling fact. This is a glorious, mesmerising guide to the past 500 million years bought to life by this young palaeobiologist's rich and cinematic writing -- Ben Spencer, Books of the Year * Sunday Times *\u003cbr\u003eA book that I really want to read but haven't yet bought - so I hope it goes into my Christmas stocking - is \u003ci\u003eOtherlands\u003c\/i\u003e: A World in the Making by Thomas Halliday. It sounds so amazing - a history of the world before history, before people. He's trying to write the history of the organisms and the plants and the creatures and everything else as the world grows from protozoic slime or whatever we emerged from. It sounds like an absolutely incredible effort of imagination. I think that Christmas presents should be books you can curl up with and get engrossed in and transported by - and \u003ci\u003eOtherlands\u003c\/i\u003e sounds like exactly that -- Michael Wood, Books of the Year * BBC History Magazine *\u003cbr\u003eBut, of course, not all history is human history, \u003ci\u003eOtherlands,\u003c\/i\u003e by Thomas Halliday, casts its readers further and further back, past the mammoths, past the dinosaurs, back to an alien world of shifting rock and weird plants.

Little did Conan Doyle know, there were terrifying monsters in South America--they just happened to be extinct. In fact, South America has an incredible history as a land where many strange creatures evolved and died out. In his book \"Giants of the Lost World: Dinosaurs and Other Extinct Monsters of South America,\" Donald R. Prothero uncovers the real science and history behind this fascinating story. The largest animal ever discovered was the huge sauropod dinosaur \"Argentinosaurus,\" which was about 130 feet long and weighed up to 100 tons. The carnivorous predator \"Giganotosaurus\" weighed in at more than 8 tons and measured more than 47 feet long, dwarfing the \"T. rex\" in comparison. Gigantic anaconda''s broke reptile records; possums evolved into huge sabre-toothed predators; and ground sloths grew larger than elephants in this strange, unknown land. Prothero presents the scientific details about each of these prehistoric beasts, provides a picture of the ancient landscapes they once roamed and includes the stories of the individuals who first discovered their fossils for a captivating account of a lost world that is stranger than fiction.","brand":"Smithsonian Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48740561027415,"sku":"9781588345622","price":18.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781588345622.jpg?v=1720055018"},{"product_id":"dinosaurs-10-things-you-should-know-9781841884943","title":"Dinosaurs: 10 Things You Should Know","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'A warp-speed tour of dinosaurs, with an expert guide' PROF.

For anyone who wants a thorough understanding of the technical issues involved in de-extinction, How to Clone a Mammoth should satisfy your curiosity.\"--Carl Zimmer, Wall Street Journal \"Shapiro ... Lays out a well-articulated argument for the 'resurrection of ecological interactions' as the most appropriate goal of de-extinction research... Her professorial voice shines in her thoughtful roadmap for practical decision making in theory-heavy science, as well as in her efforts to 'separate the science of de-extinction from the science fiction of de-extinction.' Readers will emerge with the ability to think more deeply about the facts of de-extinction and cloning at a time when hyperbolic and emotionally manipulative claims about such scientific breakthroughs are all too common.\"--Publishers Weekly \"[A] disturbing and thoughtful new book... Shapiro makes a good, sensible, balanced case.\"--Cathy Gere, The Nation \"[A] clear appraisal of what it would really take to resurrect extinct species... Several hurdles remain, and Shapiro presents these clearly and entertainingly as a brilliant thought experiment at the boundaries of biological plausibility.\"--Henry Nicholls, Nature \"As Shapiro sees it, de-extinction isn't about geeky genetic sleight of hand or about the resurrection of legendary beasts; it's a valuable new tool for conserving and enriching the global ecosystem.\"--Natural History \"In this lucid road map for the nascent discipline of 'de-extinction,' Shapiro, an evolutionary biologist, examines not only how we can resurrect long-vanished species but also when we cannot or should not.\"--Scientific American \"As a researcher who is shaping this field, Shapiro is the perfect guide to the ongoing discussion about de-extinction. While many news items and conference presentations have focused on the technology required to create extinct life, Shapiro carefully considers every step along the journey to de-extinction, from choosing a species to revive to making sure they don't become extinct all over again...Whether you're all for de-extinction or against it, Shapiro's sharp, witty, and impeccably-argued book is essential for informing those who will decide what life will become.\"--Briant Switek, National Geographic.com's Laelaps blog \"[Shapiro] goes to great lengths to demystify the art and science of cloning.\"--Kirkus Reviews \"Some of the best conversations I've had in recent months have come about while discussing de-extinction. The concept is simple: should we clone extinct animals, Jurassic Park-style, from found genetic material? How do we do it? What would the impact be on the environment? Shapiro makes it clear that we should have this discussion now because the future of de-extinction is real and coming fast.\"--Andrew Sturgeon, Flavorwire, from \"10 Must-Read Academic Books of 2015\" \"[A] fascinating book... A great popular science title, and one that makes it clear that a future you may have imagined is already underway.\"--Library Journal, starred review \"In How to Clone a Mammoth, Shapiro provides detailed descriptions of current state-of-the-art bioengineering technologies, explaining just what can and cannot be done. She also provides a thorough discussion of the ethical and environmental issues raised by de-extinction proposals. Readers of the book will be well equipped to develop their own informed opinions on this controversial topic.\"--Ravi Mandalia, Techie News \"In How to Clone a Mammoth, molecular paleontologist Beth Shapiro spells out, step by step, how and how soon real scientists might be able to bring an extinct species back to life.\"--Nancy Szokan, Washington Post \"[T]houghtful and well-written... Shapiro does an excellent job of showing that the realities of genuine science can be as exciting as the fantasies of science fiction.\"--Nick Rennison, Daily Mail \"[How to Clone a Mammoth] is at once an account of the state of the technology, a sketch of how to proceed, a barrage of as-yet unanswerable questions and a manifesto... The science is fascinating.\"--Olivia Judson, Financial Times \"This charming volume is a how-to book with a vengeance.\"--Brian Bethune, Maclean's \"Shapiro... who actually works on the de-extinction of the passenger pigeon and the mammoth, aims to separate science from science fiction. She succeeds brilliantly. This book is likely to prove the definitive guide for non-specialists to the science of de-extinction for some time to come... Shapiro explores the vital questions surrounding the whole subject of de-extinction with great clarity... Shapiro is an acute, lively, sceptical and nuanced writer\"--Caspar Henderson, Spectator Shapiro's thought-provoking book offers excitement and wonder - but also comes with a warning. We must think carefully, not just about how we can achieve this incredible scientific feat, but also about where it is likely to have the most positive (or least negative) impact, and why it is worth the investment and associated risks. [ ... ] While Shapiro's message throughout How to Clone a Mammoth is unarguably one of caution, she finishes on a hopeful (and awesome) thought: using cutting-edge technology, we might be able to resurrect life that we once thought lost to us for ever, and soon. She paints a scientifically accurate yet magical world where Pleistocene giants might roam the Arctic tundra once again, and where we have the chance to undo some past mistakes - as long as we remember to keep looking towards the future.\"--Tiffany Taylor, Times Higher Education \"[C]lear and fascinating ... Shapiro explains complex molecular biology clearly. It really comes alive ... When she describes her own expeditions.\"--Shaoni Bhattacharya, New Scientist \"Shapiro's book is a thoughtful how-to guide for the painstaking process of reviving not just mammoths but passenger pigeons and other lost species. Her aim is to separate science from science fiction by taking a critical look at proposals for bringing these animals back.\"--Allison, Bohac, Science News \"From her front-row seat as one of the pioneers of ancient-DNA research, Shapiro explains the fieldwork, lab science, and prospective ecology involved with the so-far hypothetical endeavor.\"--Bob Grant, The Scientist \"How To Clone A Mammoth is about as close as you get to sitting down with a nice cup of tea to have a decent chinwag with a mate about resurrecting the woolly mammoth... Refreshingly, she replaces hyperbole with humour to guide the reader through the basics of de-extinction science... that personal touch brings warmth.\" --Dr Tori Herridge, BBC Focus Magazine \"Skilfully combining accounts of the scientific problems with ethical and practical considerations, the book is an informative and at times highly entertaining account of the life of a modern mammoth hunter... Shapiro lucidly explains all the scientific problems that Jurassic Park conveniently glossed over ... her real-life tales of mammoth hunting in the Siberian tundra ... these sections are not so much Jurassic Park as a female geneticist version of Indiana Jones.\"--William Hartston, Daily Express \"In her new book, Shapiro offers an accessible, rigorous, I-can't-believe-it's-not-sci-fi guide to the world of de-extinction research. You can read the book as a pop primer on genetics, a field guide to future fauna, or as a roadmap to the next generation of conservation science. But reading about these mammoths and Tasmanian tigers, you start to feel that Shapiro is getting at bigger questions... [She] is a lucid, relaxed, and often hilarious guide to the strange world of people who try to resurrect dead species.\"--Michael Schulson, Religion Dispatches \"[Beth Shapiro's] book exposes the fallacies in our thinking about such activities, as well as the real possibilities and even potential values of restoring some extinct species. This is not a silly book; rather, it is a serious story well told and a fun read.\"--Buffalo News \"[Shapiro] has skillfully blended cutting edge science with an overview of the ramifications that resurrecting lost fauna might have for the restoration of declining ecosystems.\"--Everything Dinosaur Blog \"[W]arm and accessible ... Shapiro's informal approach, peppered with deadpan asides, is a welcome change from the hyperbole and grandstanding that have come to characterise popular debates on rewilding and de-extinction... The open-hearted simplicity of How to Clone a Mammoth provides a great entry point for people who want to join in [the conversation].\"--Tori Herridge, Literary Review \"I found this book to be an entertaining and deeply informative read that captures the complexity of both the science and the broader issues raised very well. The next time a film about rampaging Jurassic reptiles is on offer, you could instead settle in with this book and the beverage of your choice and learn about the true potential for species resurrection. Popcorn optional.\"--A. Rus Hoelzel, Science \"Shapiro's book is fascinating.\"--The Irish Examiner \"This book is an excellent introduction to the emergent science of de-extinction. Shapiro is a gifted writer who makes a complex subject accessible to readers with little science acumen... The beauty of this work is in its honesty: Shapiro, who is invested in this science as a practitioner, does not attempt to woo the masses. She takes the ethical concerns head on, not as an advocate but as an honest broker.\"--Choice \"Beth Shapiro is an evolutionary biologist who specialises in ancient DNA... Who better to take us through the technological developments and evidentiary likelihood of recreating extinct species? [A] well-written factual summary ... playfully set out.\"--David Callahan, Birdwatch \"Shapiro has done an excellent job.\"--Ian Simmons, Fortean Times \"Beth Shapiro's 'how-to' manual couldn't be more timely.\"--New Scientist, a New Scientist best reads from 2015 selection \"This book is careful, accessible, and thoughtful. The author is cautiously enthusiastic about de-extinction research, but she is also very realistic about the challenges and gives serious attention to some of the objections.
