Synopsis
In the tradition of Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs and Steel, and Flannery's own best-seller, The Future Eaters, this is ecological history on a monumental scale. Tim Flannery has achieved something never before attempted: a history of the formation of North America as we know it today. The Eternal Frontier contains an enormous wealth of fascinating details, and Tim Flannery's accessible and writing is a delight to read. Covering immense spans of time and space, Flannery explores the profound transformation of the entire North American continent, depicting its creation, and the evolution of its modern landscape.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Tim Flannerys The Eternal Frontier is the ground-breaking sequel to The Future Eaters, which changed the way we think about ecological history.Now Flannery tells the astonishing story of North America from the day 65 million years ago when a meteor ten kilometres wide smashed into the Gulf of Mexico, ending the age of dinosaurs and devastating the continent.As he traces the rebirth of North Americas animals, plants, climate and landforms, Flannery ranges from Alaska in the frozen north to Panama in the tropical south. He describes giant carnivorous bears and the rainforests that covered Greenland. He discovers how the fall in New England and the cactus deserts of Sonora were shaped by the same forces.He imagines the moment 13,000 years ago when the first human left a footprint on the continent, and gives a fascinating account of how its diverse peoples have changed its environment, especially after the arrival of Columbus in 1492. This is a sweeping survey of a frontier which has offered seemingly inexhaustible resources to countless generations of animal and human immigrants.The Eternal Frontier is a major work of international popular science, an epic and enthralling book. The sequel to Tim Flannery's The Future Eaters explores the creation of the North American continent, and the evolution of its modern landscape. Flannery describes the development of North America's flora, and the immigration of animals to and from Europe, Asia and South America, demonstrating how species have adapted.
