"Actually, "currently reading" also applies to this magnificent work. Edited by general editor Stephen Jay Gould, with articles by numerous contributors, and gorgeously illustrated by various artists, this book gives an overview of life on Earth from its beginnings, billions of years ago, to the present. It also contains essays by Gould and others describing the ongoing process of science and the growth of the life sciences over centuries; reproductions of such works of art as Rudolph Zallinger's panorama murals of dinosaurs at Yale, Charles R. Knight's fascinating portraits of ancient life, vibrant and full of energy, Henry de la Beche's grey-scale cartoons of Mesozoic life, Mark Hallett's modern studies of dinosaurs, Louis Figuier's beautiful lithographs of "pre-Edenic" and "Edenic" life, and many other artistic contributions to evolutionary science that have inspired countless youngsters to go on to become scientists; analyses of major geological events of each eon and era of Earthly life, and the ways in which these shaped the course of evolution; and many other features. Oh, fear not, we're in there, too, almost the last ones on Life's great stage, but brining so great an impact on the rest of Earth's life with us that many scientists now believe a new era of life has begun: the Anthropogenic. A beautiful book for both its gorgeous illustrations and layout, and its brilliant explorations into the very heart of life."
