This book — Becoming Earth: How Our Planet Came To Life by Ferris Jabr — is published in the UK today. It tells an astonishing story of a world that is, as DH Lawrence once put it, “not a machine, but alive and kicking”. It also has a spectacular cover!
Today is officially pub day for the UK hardback of Becoming Earth! And just look at this gorgeous prismatic jacket from Picador Books featuring the artwork of Rogan Brown 😍 panmacmillan.com/authors/ferris…
As coverage of HOW TO KILL AN ASTEROID ramps up, I want to share the generous blurbs other authors have offered. First up is the legendary Ferris Jabr [BECOMING EARTH] who calls the book a "heaping bowl of mind candy" and the author "a spirited, erudite and humorous guide."
It was a pleasure to speak w Ferris Jabr about his wonderful book Becoming Earth for Intelligence Squared. As you'll hear, the book felt to me like a nonfiction companion to The Overstory by Richard Powers-- a book it turns out Ferris was influenced by. Listen! open.spotify.com/episode/7Iso5B…
