First line
ONE OF THE MOST SHOCKING scientific realizations of all time has slowly been dawning on us: the earth's climate does great flip-flops every few thousand years, and with breathtaking speed.
From the rear cover
Winner of the 2002 Phi Beta Kappa Award in Science Mankind has recently come to the shocking realization that our ancestors survived hundreds of abrupt and severe changes to Earth's climate. In this unique travelogue, William H. Calvin takes us around the globe and back in time, showing us how such cycles of cool, crash, and burn provided the impetus for enormous increases in the intelligence and complexity of human beings--and warning us of human activities that could trigger similarly massive shifts in the planet's climate.
