The origin and evolution of Earth : from the Big Bang to the future of human existence / Robert M. Hazen.

Summary:

"Earth is an astonishing planet--an evolving world of dynamic, constant change. The epic story of Earth's evolution and development is a journey that begins almost 17 billion years ago, with the formationof atoms and molecules shortly after the big bang. Those raw materials became the building blocks of stars, which in turn produced all of the chemical elements that would form Earth and other rocky planets."--Guidebook, page 1
