Un viaje extraordinario al pasado de nuestro planeta a través de las agujas de un reloj de 24 horas. ¡Millones de años, en horas, minutos y segundos!
 
La historia más fascinante del mundo es sin duda la de nuestro planeta. Si la comprimiéramos en un reloj de 24 horas nos daríamos cuenta de que nuestra presencia en la Tierra apenas representa ¡4 segundos! Entonces... ¿qué sucedió antes de nuestra llegada?
 
A través de las páginas de este libro, nos sumergimos en un viaje emocionante a épocas del pasado. ¿Sabías que al principio la Tierra giraba tan deprisa que los días duraban 5 horas? ¿Y que llegó a convertirse en una gran bola de nieve? Imagina que hace 250 millones de años nuestro planeta estaba habitado por reptiles, dinosaurios y escorpiones de ¡hasta 70 centímetros!
 
Un precioso libro ilustrado con el que entender fácilmente la compleja historia de la Tierra, desde su formación hasta que la poblaron los primeros seres humanos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


An extraordinary voyage to the planet’s past framed by hands of a 24-hour clock. Millions of years in hours, minutes and seconds!

The most fascinating story of all is without doubt the story of our planet. If we could condense its existence into 24 hours, humans would be present for just the last 4 seconds! So … what was going on during all the time before that? 
 
This book immerses us in an exciting journey through the planet’s previous eras. Did you know that in the beginning, Earth revolved so quickly around the Sun that each day lasted just 5 hours? And that at one point in its past, the Earth was nothing more than a giant snowball? Go back 250 million years, and it was home to dinosaurs and scorpions up to 70 centimeters long!
 
A gorgeously illustrated book that makes it easy to understand the complex history of Earth, from its formation to the emergence of the first human beings.
