Book excerpt: Prothero and Dott's classic Evolution of the Earth is a seminal work in the field. Changing curricula have created a need for a more accessible historical geology text that will assume no pre-requisites and be pitched appropriately to non-majors. The book is written in a lively and entertaining style similar to that employed by Dr. Prothero's many trade books. It will employ his trademark themes of evolution and "why and how we know what we know". In keeping with its more accessible approach the book will emphasize popular topics such as dinosaurs, mass extinctions, ice ages, climate change, and the origins of Earth and life.
