Ward and Brownlee, a geologist and an astronomer respectively, combine their knowledge of what they call the middle-aged planet Earth and tell the story of the second half of its life. In this melding of research and science writing, they provide a comprehensive portrait of Earth's life cycle, and offer a glimpse of its place in the cosmic order.
