From the Big Bang to the abundance of life that surrounds us today, this beautiful book - the third by the award-winning duo Gill Arbuthnott and Chris Nielsen - is the story of evolution, from the very first cells to ourselves.

How old exactly is the Earth? How do we know what was here before us? Are we still evolving? From Cells to Ourselves is the story of the beginnings of life around 3.8 billion years ago, to the millions of species alive today, including humans.

Learn about mythology giants who formed the Earth, analyse fossils, walk with the dinosaurs, join Charles Darwin on his exploration of the Galápagos islands and marvel at some of the random and bizarre acts that have shaped our world in this beautifully illustrated book.

Created by the author and illustrator duo of the award-winning Balloon to the Moon.

The matt pages and muted colours as well as the style of illustrations give the book an almost vintage feel. Information is in manageable portions and there are drawings, diagrams, and maps galore with several sections use a graphic novel format to explain the text. There's no index but the contents page is detailed enough to find what you're looking for. Aimed at ages 7-11 years this book will delight any budding palaeontologist as well as being a useful addition to both classroom collections and school libraries. -- Barbara Band * Armadillo Magazine *
