Beschreibung
Apparently alone in the Universe, the Earth glows bright with life, a cosmic oasis of biodiversity. This book considers life on Earth, and human interactions with it culminating in our domination of the living world, and asks what we have learnt about our biosphere, the risks it faces, and how we might become stewards of the life around us.
