Europe. Natural History. From Origin to Present and a Bit Beyond

Biologist Tim Flannery has written the history of Europe like it has never been told before: the history of the continent and the forces that shaped life on it. This remarkably successful blend of biology, paleontology, geology, and anthropology shows... the dynamic evolution of one of the most famous places on Earth.
Throughout the book, we will see how some species of animals disappear while others successfully survive the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs. Countless species of animals and plants have migrated to Europe and evolved along with the continent.
In addition, the author managed to enrich the narrative by introducing us to scientists, often eccentric, who unraveled the mysteries of the origin of species, climatic catastrophes, and geological changes. Skillfully intertwining the stories of nature and humanity, Flannery paints an unprecedented portrait of a continent that continues to exert a significant influence on the planet.
