Rejsen til tidernes morgen

About this book

Few people are aware that without life, there were no continents. It turns out that life is the strongest changing force on Earth. The geology has revealed this, and it tells Denmark's own astronomer within geology Minik Rosing about in his book. In the book we follow the discoveries that form the basis of our understanding of the earth and life as inseparable phenomena. We also follow the discovery of the earliest traces of life on earth, and in the research on how the land, the sea and the atmosphere have evolved in step with the rise of life and development on earth. Like the author of the book, much of our knowledge of the Earth comes from Greenland. Therefore, the book is also a declaration of love for Greenland, which has been the driving force in Minik Rosing's geological research.
