Becoming Earth: How Our Planet Came to Life
Ferris Jabr, author of Becoming Earth: How Our Planet Came to Life and Becoming Earth: A Journey Through the Hidden Wonders That Bring our Planet to Life, presents the Earth as a vast interconnected living system. To reveal life’s profound influence on the planet, he transports the reader to some of the world's most extraordinary places. With compelling narrative, poetic descriptions and clarity, he shows us how Earth became the world as we’ve known it and how we—we who are alive at this crucial moment in the planet’s history—will ultimately help determine what kind of Earth our descendants inherit for millennia to come. Ferris has written for The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Scientific American, and other publications. He has an MA in journalism from New York University and a Bachelor of Science from Tufts University. He lives in Portland, Oregon. His surname rhymes with neighbor.
