Autor Jessica Gurevitch, Peter M. Groffman, Kevin A. Reed
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 dec 2026
Life on Our Dynamic Planet explores the forces that shape our world-from weather systems and seasons to the intricate dance between climate and life. The engaging text offers readers keys to understanding how the interaction between atmospheric dynamics, the energy we receive from the sun, ocean circulation, and Earth's yearly journey in the solar system create and maintain the environments we inhabit with millions of other living things. Through clear and approachable writing, it bridges the gap between everyday experience and the science behind weather, climate, and the living world. Answering and explaining everyday questions that pique readers' curiosity, the book explores a wide range of phenomena, from the formation of clouds, snow, and glaciers to the mechanisms behind hurricanes, droughts, and monsoons. It reveals the wonder of color, from rainbows to the patterns in flowers that are invisible to humans but act as bright UV road signs for pollinators. What makes the tropics warm and humid, and why do they have dry and wet seasons? Why do we have deserts, and four seasons in temperate regions? The subtle and dramatic ways living systems both respond to and shape their physical environments are revealed. The text clarifies how the land, ocean, and atmosphere interact with life on Earth and how those relationships shape everything from meerkats and penguins to our own human family. Richly complemented with photographs and illustrations, Life on Our Dynamic Planet is written for those who are curious about their world and are seeking a deeper understanding of it. It opens a window to greater knowledge and appreciation of the complexity and beauty of the planet we share with all life.
