Description: Ten Million Aliens, Paperback by Barnes, Simon, ISBN 1501117181, ISBN-13 9781501117183, Brand New, Free shipping in the US For Discovery Channel enthusiasts, this scientific foray into life on planet earth examines how the world&;s creatures--both weird and wonderful--are inextricably linked. Life on planet earth is not weirder than we imagine. It&;s weirder than we are capable of imagining. And we&;re all in it together: humans, blue whales, rats, birds of paradise, ridiculous numbers of beetles, molluscs the size of a bus, the sexual gladiators of slugs, bdelloid rotifers who haven&;t had sex for millions of years and creatures called water bears: you can boil them, freeze them and fire them off into space without killing them. We&;re all part of the animal kingdom, appearing in what Darwin called &;endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful." In this breathtakingly audacious book, Simon Barnes has brought us all together, seeking not what separates us but what unites us. He takes us white-water rafting through the entire animal kingdom in a book that brings in deep layers of arcane knowledge, the works of Darwin and James Joyce, Barnes&;s own don&;t-try-this-at-home adventures in the wild, David Attenborough and Sherlock Holmes. Ten Million Aliens opens your eyes to the real marvels of the planet we live on.
