Book Description:

From the first bacterial `Germ of Life' cells that formed in the hot, hostile and highly volcanic Earth nearly four billion years ago, to the present day, Life has been an unbroken continuum. Earth Alive! gives a new perspective and reveals the significance of Life's bacterial ancestry, and the continuing enormous importance of the invisible world of micro-organisms that still sustain the living Earth.
