About This Item
The Folio Society, 2008. Hardcover. Very good or better. None First Folio Society Edition, no slip case. This has been acquired from a collector and is part of a series of special Folio Society publications. They are beautifully bound and presented. Most appear not to have been read and are as new. Unfortunately, most volumes do not have the issued slip cover or case. They would still make a great acquistion for a collector of popular and interesting books in modern English literature.
Synopsis
The senior paleontologist at London's Natural History Museum presents a thought-provoking, engaging account of life on Earth from the Big Bang to the advent of humankind, based entirely on the evidence of fossils, stones, and other natural artifacts.
