This book makes the case that in addition to the physical characteristics of the planet, the Earth's history and even our modern-day behaviors and activities are shaped in important ways by its atmosphere. The author presents an engaging scientific history of Earth's atmosphere, from its origins billions of years ago to the present day, covering topics such as the development of the ozone layer, the role of the atmosphere in distributing heat, and the impact of global warming. The author also explores the many ways in which the atmosphere influences the Earth's ecosystems and human societies, from cloud formation to the spread of disease to climate's role in shaping cultural and economic trends.
