Survivors: The Animals and Plants that Time has Left Behind
Survivors: The Animals And
Plants That Time Has Left
Behind
    An awe-inspiring journey
    through the eons of time
    and across the globe, in
    search of visible traces
    of evolution in living
    creatures which have
    survived from earliest
    times and whose stories
    speak to us of seminal
    events in the history of
    life. ?Reading Richard
    Fortey is always pure
    pleasure? BILL BRYSON The
    history of life on Earth
    is far older ? and far
    odder ? than many of us
    realise. In this book,
    acclaimed author Richard
    Fortey traces this
    history not through
    fossil records, but in
    the living stories of
    organisms that have
    survived nearly unchanged
    for hundreds of millions
    of years and whose
    existence today affords
    us tantalising glimpses
    of landscapes long
    vanished. For evolution
    has not obliterated its
    tracks. Scattered across
    the globe, strange and
    marvellous plants and
    animals have survived
    virtually unchanged since
    life first began. They
    range from humble algal
    mats dating back almost
    two billion years to
    hardy musk oxen, which
    linger as the last
    vestiges of Ice Age
    fauna. Following in
    Forteys questing
    footsteps, Survivors
    takes us on fascinating
    journey to these ancient
    worlds. On a moonlit
    beach in Delaware where
    the horseshoe crab
    shuffles its way through
    a violent romance, we
    catch a glimpse of life
    450 million years ago,
    shortly after it
    diversified on the ocean
    floor. Along a stretch of
    Australian coastline, we
    bear witness to the
    sights and sounds that
    would have greeted a
    Precambrian dawn.
    Finally, in the dense
    rainforests of New
    Zealand where the
    secretive velvet worm
    burrows into the rotting
    timber of the jungle
    floor, we marvel at a
    living fossil which has
    survived unchanged since
    before the dissolution of
    the Gondwana
    supercontinent. Written
    with Forteys
    customary sparkle and
    gusto, this wonderfully
    engrossing exploration of
    the worlds oldest
    flora and fauna
    brilliantly combines the
    best science writing
    about the origins of life
    with an explorers
    sense of adventure and a
    poets wonder at the
    natural world. Utterly
    compelling, eye-opening
    and awe-inspiring, this
    is a book for anyone with
    an interest in evolution,
    in nature, in the
    remarkable scope of
    geological time and our
    own modest interaction
    with it ? in short, in
    life itself.
