About This Book:

Title: What on Earth Happened?

Synopsis
Christopher Lloyd takes on nothing less than the history of, well, all history. In this history, the stories are told of plants, oceans, dinosaurs, and other nonhumans who don't write histories of themselves. Lloyd merges earth sciences, history, and multiple disciplines to bring the earth's history all together from the Big Bang to the explosions in Iraq. He describes the bees' version of the Iowa caucuses when they select a site for a new hive, and the contribution of dog behavior to the musings of Diogenes on human democracy. The book offers readers a very wide perspective against which to view their anthropocentric problems.
