Book Description
Australopithecines, dinosaurs, trilobites--such fossils conjure up images of lost worlds filled with vanished organisms. But in the full history of life, ancient animals, even the trilobites, form only the half-billion-year tip of a nearly four-billion-year iceberg. Andrew Knoll explores the deep history of life from its origins on a young planet to the incredible Cambrian explosion, presenting a compelling new explanation for the emergence of biological novelty.
The very latest discoveries in paleontology--many of them made by the author and his students--are integrated with emerging insights from molecular biology and earth system science to forge a broad understanding of how the biological diversity that surrounds us came to be. Moving from Siberia to Namibia to the Bahamas, Knoll shows how life and environment have evolved together through Earth's history. Innovations in biology have helped shape our air and oceans, and, just as surely, environmental change has influenced the course of evolution, repeatedly closing off opportunities for some species while opening avenues for others.
Readers go into the field to confront fossils, enter the lab to discern the inner workings of cells, and alight on Mars to ask how our terrestrial experience can guide exploration for life beyond our planet. Along the way, Knoll brings us up-to-date on some of science's hottest questions, from the oldest fossils and claims of life beyond the Earth to the hypothesis of global glaciation and Knoll's own unifying concept of ''permissive ecology.''
In laying bare Earth's deepest biological roots, Life on a Young Planet helps us understand our own place in the universe--and our responsibility as stewards of a world four billion years in the making.
Customer Reviews:
Highly enlightening, balanced, clear, and thoughtful.......2007-09-08
Want to know about the earliest living things? Read this book. The writing style is direct but lively with appropriate allusions to popular culture. Some of the topics are highly controversial and Knoll does a great job of telling you the relevant facts so you can reach your own opinion. For this alone, I would give the book 10 stars if I could. Still I wish it had more illustrations and a better description of how research is conducted and how rocks are analyzed. Potential readers should be warned that Knoll assumes the reader is generally knowledgeable about Biology and scientific terminology.
Excellent introduction to early earth geology.......2007-03-18
Well written and complete. Could have used a glossery.
Tremendous fun.......2007-03-17
A lively account of the first three billion years of life, starting from the first chemical traces of biological activity and ending with the Cambrian explosion of fossil forms.
Knoll introduces each key geological period with an account of a visit to a site with relevant exposed strata, followed by a careful description of the geological and chemical analysis of the strata and the biological implications. This is particularly interesting for the oldest sites where geologists and biologists must work from limited chemical traces and faint shapes.
Knoll is willing to become fairly technical, especially in explaining the various interactions between biological processes and ocean chemistry and geology. But his explanations are well written and lively throughout.
Overall I found this tremendous fun to read, with a good balance between interesting anecdotes, detailed facts, and the broad evolutionary picture.
Evolutionary page-turner.......2007-03-16
This is a wonderfully well-written book that details the development of life from its earliest indications through the Cambrian radiation that set the pattern for the living things we know. Surprisingly, it is a compelling read, the sort of book that keeps you up late so you can find out how it ends. Makes you appreciate the miracle of life!
Life on a Planet.......2007-02-19
This is really a great book. Truly inter(trans) disciplinary, measured and still visionary.
If you read this and Lynn Margulis/Dorion Sagan What is Life? You cannot miss the awe around you nor real appreciation for your geneology--i.e. the microbes.

Money makes the world go round for Jett Gavallon, a high-tech entrepreneur who's on the brink of bringing a Russian telecom startup to market with an IPO worth billions. But when his best friend and second-in-command disappears after Gavallon sends him to Moscow to make sure the new company is on the up and up, Jett begins to have second thoughts, which are exactly what his Russian partners can't afford. Beset by an FBI task force looking into Mercury Broadband's financing by Russian mobsters, rumors of fraud being circulated by a Drudge-like online financial gossip columnist, and the discovery that his former lover is not who he thought she was, Jett puts his fortune on the line in a desperate attempt to save his company--and ultimately, his life. An exciting, fast-paced adventure by an author who puts his experience in international banking to work in the service of this carefully plotted thriller. --Jane Adams

A RIVETING NARRATION.......2007-06-24
Actor and Audie Award finalist James Daniels gives a riveting performance of this globe spanning story propelled by rapid fire action and dark intrigue. His voice ably conveys toughness, compassion, and regret. He doesn't over-dramatize, allowing Reich's powerful words to carry listeners along.
As many know, Reich has earned an enviable reputation as a master of international intrigue. The First Billion, his third book, again mesmerizes with a tale of frightening possibilities.
Jett Gavalian is a former fighter pilot, having served in the Gulf War. What he saw there inspired him to begin Black Jet Securities, an international financial consulting firm. He intends to use his profits to help rather than harm, improve the possibilities for life on this planet. Jett made his first billion in jig time, and now he's working on the next by putting Mercury Broadband, a Russian media company, on the New York Stock Exchange.
However, he's soon made aware that the company may not be all he believed. Jeff sends his best friend, Grafton Byrnes, to Moscow to look into the situation, which appears murkier by the minute. There's not much time as Mercury Broadband is due to go up in a mere six days, and the future of Black Jet hinges on it. We hear: "The IPO, or initial public offering, of shares in the company was valued at two billion dollars, and nothing less than his firm's continued existence depended on what he discovered. A green light meant seventy million dollars in fees, a guarantee of fee-related business from Mercury down the road, and a rescue from impending insolvency."
What Grafton finds in Moscow is more terrifying than he or Jett could ever have imagined.
Just when we think Reich has pulled out all the stops and couldn't possibly have another trick up his author's sleeve, he galvanizes with the unexpected. Enjoy!

Rather formulaic.......2006-08-01
I chose this book simply by spotting the spine while at the library. But once I got into it, it just seemed rather formulaic. Flashbacks occurred at predictable interviews. The major characters, at different times, all seemed to stop and look at themselves in the mirror. There just wasn't anything all that intriguing.
Skip This One.......2006-07-07
"The First Billion" is too long and slow-paced to be a truly effective thriller. Christopher Reich is a good writer, but he could really use a lesson in self-editing. He has a verbose writing style, and wastes page after page describing extraneous details that have little to no importance to the story.
This is one of those books you end up skimming, rather than really reading. I really wish this 600-page book had been more aggressively edited. This book could easily have been made at least 100-150 pages shorter without sacrificing much of the story. There is a subplot in this book involving the Alaska Pipeline that could have been completely eliminated, in my opinion.
This book also has some severe plot problems. The first 250-300 pages of this book are incredibly slow-paced and boring. Nothing major really happens in this book until about the midway point, when a mass murder takes place. After this murder takes place, the book picks up the pace dramatically and reads much more like a thriller.
My suspicion, however, is that most readers will give up on this book before reaching page 250. I came very close to doing so myself.
The book is further worsened by cardboard characters who are neither sympathetic nor believable. Almost all the major "good" characters are rich, good-looking and materialistic. The "hero" of the book is a 38-year old millionaire CEO who is trying to make more millions for his investment banking company. In the end, I didn't really care that much about him or how he ended up.
My advice is to skip this book. If you're looking for a good corporate thriller, read the books of Joseph Finder, which are much better written.
The First Russophobe.......2006-07-04
In this book Mr. Reich uses a popular method of getting ahead in literary life: scribble away a bunch of russophobic babble and hope for the best. Did it work? Well, with jewels like "cut Russian's insides before he drops like a sack of potatoes" who could be in the miss?!? Did he call himself civilized?
Did Mr. Reich have to pay to get this smeared toilet paper published? Will never know as it's probably privileged information. Right, Mr. Accountant?
While he ceaselessly tries to be just a little more like DeMille, Clancy, and even Wolfe (almost entire passages copied out of The Bonfire), he ain't it. Escaped crazy Russkies on their own fighter jet? Is that his biggest masturbation fantasy, or is it the one about a sack of potatoes? Shed some light on this in your next one, - will definitely be a bestseller this time. Right.
The First Billion author Christopher Reich.......2005-09-27
Christopher Reich always writes a page-turner in my opinion. In this book he keeps the reader on the edge of his seat to the end!
His novels center around international intrigue and his plots inform his readers about the many facets of "money-laundering", espionage and terrorism. He never leaves me disappointed.

"The excitement of discovery cannot be bought, or faked, or learned from books," London Natural History Museum senior paleontologist Richard Fortey writes in Life. The first chapter, an engrossing account of an Arctic fossil-hunting expedition he undertook as a university student, will bring shivers to anyone who has ever ignored cold hands, hunger, and filthy socks to keep looking for something new, some piece of rock or bit of plant that may hold the key to the gleaming certainty of understanding. Fortey's descriptions of scruffy field assistants and eccentrically brilliant scientists are easily as interesting as the billions of years of evolution he so imaginatively describes. After all, the fossil record has not been accepted without controversy, and the arguments among fallible evolutionary biologists as they refined their theories make for great reading. But it is the little animals that make up our distant ancestry that are the focus here. The often mysterious fossils they left behind are like a history book in a language we don't know--the history of bugs and birds, humans and cauliflowers. One by one, Fortey reveals how the puzzles of paleontology have been subjected to the scientific method and to the politics and personal ambitions of academia, until a beautifully clear path is traced from the very first traces of life all the way across the eons to the advent of Homo sapiens. Fortey's elegantly written tour lets us share his passion for ancient seas and the animals that frolicked in them, and understand how time and chance contributed to the biography of us all. --Therese Littleton

Customer Reviews:
A scientist with a voice.......2006-08-01
Fortey is witty and engaging, enlivening his narrative with anecdotes and asides that remind readers that science is done, in the end, by human beings. (Note that the photos include a pub frequented by paleontologists as well as the more-expected photos of fossils and scientists.) A good companion to Richard Dawkins' "The Ancestor's Tale," which tells the same story in the opposite direction, i.e., from the present back to the beginnings of life on earth. Highly recommended for non-scientists, like me, who are fascinated by this topic and appreciate a little wit along with the facts.
Interesting, though not enlightening.......2006-06-09
Four billion years in 13 chapters! Well, almost. Richard Fortey's book has many attributes to its name. It outlines each important event from the formation of the earth to the ascent of man. If you do not already have a basic understanding of the origin and development of life, this book will educate you in a readable, non-professional way. His personal anecdotes give the book a personal, human touch. They often give insight into life as a scientist and (usually) are quite entertaining. He paints vivid scenes of primordial seas and Carboniferous forests that pique interest much more easily than bland textbook descriptions can. He throws in many facts that don't really have much importance or relevance, but which I still found fairly interesting. For example, Fortey writes that Augustus de Morgan was a literary parasite that fed upon Jonathan Swift, loosely connecting this to an explanation of the advent of parasitism.
However, Life comes up short in many ways. Some of Fortey's digressions are drawn-out, completely irrelevant or just boring. These tangents take up quite a bit of the book so prepare to be distracted from the topic at hand. Though Fortey's book is readable, the lack of a timeline, charts, graphs, or any other visual aid (other than the photographs he chooses to include) limits the reader's comprehension. If you already have a fairly solid understanding of the origin of life, you would not learn much, other than a few trivial facts. Also, if the reader were completely unfamiliar with biology, he would have a difficult time making sense of the numerous time periods and terms presented, though there is a glossary included in the back. Therefore, the book is really geared towards an audience that has already heard of Archaea and euglena, but would like to read a book that traces the development of life from the very beginning to the near present. If you were looking for a truly informative book or one with depth, I would not recommend this book, for Fortey's intention was not to write a completely comprehensive book on four billion years of history.
Fortey does do a good job of introducing the reader to the history of life and each reader will find a different part of the book most engaging (I particularly enjoyed the chapter on the theories of mass extinction and the discussion of the K-T boundary). Do not expect a book that is very focused or covers any subject in much detail, and the book will not disappoint.
What is Life? Let Richard Tell You!.......2006-03-27
Well here it is 4,000,000,000 years crammed into 365 pages and a full index. Bet you thought no one could do it? Of course no one can do it! But Fortey comes as close as is possible and tells it like a master wordsmith. Each chapter deals with a different geological epoch: from the earliest slime molds generating all that 02 neccessary for further plant evolution to the eventual marvels of dinosaurs and modern man.
There are high points and low points in Fortey's writing. His experiences on Spitzbergen are a little drawn out and he also sometimes carries on analogies more than they should (reference the monkey's tea party). But beyond that, Fortey is as close as one can get to a literate Richard Dawkins -- and certainly a lot friendlier with few axes to grind.
The high points of the book will change from person to person, but for me it was the descriptions of all those slime molds eeking out an existence in an adverse world. All of the evolution they made possible, while at the same time not really evolving. The analysis of biosphere in the inner reaches of the earth were also focused and great to read. The passage to bony creatures from external skeletons and analysis of the wonderful Burgess Shales rendering more questions raised than answered. But the crowning glory in my estimation was the genesis of the KT climax rendering dinosaurs exctinct in most cases and leading to the rise of mammals...
In final analysis there are few people that can write well enough to pass natural history off with as much verve and adventure as Richard Fortey. That is a standing tribute to the beauty of this book and should be recommended reading to any adolescent, or adult with a penchant for understanding nature and the greater glory of God and the wonder of the world around us!
One Of The Best At What It Is.......2006-03-22
If you buy this book, I think you should realize that is only what the author intends it to be and says that it is. There is no room for a close examination of four billion years; indeed, there is no room for anything more than a very sparse sample of ideas that interested Fortey in his career and that he feels might interest a reader. In addition, it is, deliberately, and very much in the style of Gould, a book that insists on making the point that science is a human activity and that ideas do not exist without human passions and foibles.
So this is no textbook, no listing, however engaging, of the 'most important things to know about the first four billion years', nosurvey of the current state of thought about some critical evolutionary concepts. It's an attempt by a guy who really likes what he does to give readers some insights into what he's been working with during his career. I think it's also an attempt to communicate his fascination with the study of life on earth and to present the public with some of the more exciting tidbits along the way.
At that level, the book is easily in my top five. Fortey's ramblings about his personal experiences do not bother me at all. In fact, to me they communicate the continuity, if I can put it that way, of our own lives with the lives of creatures in the distant past. Their lives were as normal and routine to them as ours are to us; we may someday be the subjects of another look into the distant past. The history gains life through this writing style - and let's face it, we don't want to read about fossils, we all want to imagine the living creatures in their own times.
I'm not a scientist, but I am an eager reader of 'popular science' works like this one. Stephen J Gould was one of my favorite writers, and so is Fortey. This is not a book for people who want to learn about four billion years of life on Earth; it's a book for people who love reading about it. If you are one of those people, grab this one.
Sometimes slow but a good book.......2005-11-28
"A Natural History of the First Four Billions Years of Life on Earth" is a pretty big pill to swallow. Depending on your interest you might not think he takes enough time here and there to explain current thinking but I can't imagine a better springboard to the big picture. He writes well but does seem to go on a bit - sometimes I wasn't quite sure where. A good book, though, with tons of information.

An absolute riot!.......2003-11-20
This book had me rolling in my chair! I'm a football fan (now a converted Charger fan) and the events recounted here bring back a lot of memories. Gene Klein was a masterful storyteller. His descriptions of such characters as Al Davis, Leonard Tose, Dan Fouts, and Rolf Benirschke are dead-on. Just as interesting, in my opinion, is his recounting of his life and career before he bought the San Diego Chargers, and after he sold them (he turned to breeding race horses, one of whom, Tank's Prospect, won the 1986 Preakness Stakes). His recounting of his days in the used car ("cheaper by the pound than hamburger!"), film theater and insurance businesses paints a vivid picture of what it was like in post-World War II southern California, when opportunity was waiting with open arms for those willing to take a chance. He is not above recounting his mistakes, such as the time when he backed Minnie Pearl's Fried Chicken (a franchise named after the Grand Ole Opry legend), but when he sat down to take his first sampling of it, he developed HEARTBURN. And there was the time when, trelying on the advice of his son, he passed up on the American concert rights to THE BEATLES.

Insightful..........2001-04-15
This out-of-print book is full of great stories by/about a little known soviet scientist whose work foreshadowed many of the ideas later popularized in the west. For example, a book by Shkolvsky was the launch-pad for Carl Sagan's career; "Intelligent Life in the Universe" was Shkolovsky's (translated by Sagan and with Sagan's annotations marked) but no royalties or fame ever came Shkolvsky's way and surprisingly enough this caused no (apparent) animosity between them. If you would enjoy a book by/about a better known scientist such as Sagan you will find this an excellent and enjoyable addition to your shelf!

Dense, yet necessary for everyone, not just students.......2006-11-10
I had to buy this book for a class but I found the information to be quite interesting. This book deals with issues that are affecting people today, from fertility rates to the spread of HIV/AIDS and how these issues will affect the world if the world continues to grow at the pace that it is growing. There are alot of facts which can make it had to read quickly but the information is great. I would definitely recommend it.
