"Ever since Darwin shocked the world with his theories of evolution and natural selection, scientists and thinkers have continued to probe the mystery of life on earth. One of the most influential among them is Richard Fortey, leading palaeontologist at the Natural History Museum in London, who spent decades travelling the world uncovering traces of prehistoric life for his compelling and critically acclaimed ‘unauthorised biography’. Life is a fascinating odyssey through the first 4 billion years of life on earth, from the big bang to the first humans and in this Folio Society edition – the only fully illustrated version available."
