This was a really cool book. I loved the visualizations throughout, and the graphics were compelling. The structure of the book was also well done and I think this would be a great book for any history enthusiast or otherwise nature/ecology enthusiast.

Reading this book was extremely educational and enjoyable. Although it discusses complex scientific topics and cycles, it's written in a way that is extremely easy to understand. The illustrations and infographics were both aesthetically pleasing and informational. The way this book was structured, starting from evolutionary spans to ecological spans to many other spans, made this an easy read. Anyone who has an interest in ecology, evolution, or zoology would enjoy having this beautiful book in their collection.
