About The Book:
Oxygen by Donald E. Canfield takes readers on a fascinating journey through the history of Earth's oxygenation, a journey that shaped the evolution of life as we know it. The air we breathe today is composed of 21% oxygen, a concentration unmatched by any other known planet. Yet, Earth was not always an oxygenated world. Canfield explores how our planet came to be oxygen-rich, tracing the complex relationship between the evolution of life and the changing chemistry of Earth.
The book delves into the vast history of Earth's oxygenation, guiding readers through various lines of scientific evidence, and considering both the breakthroughs and missteps made by scientists along the way. Canfield highlights the pioneering researchers who have made significant contributions to our understanding of Earth's atmospheric history.
In this revised edition, the author provides an incisive new preface that further enriches the narrative, bringing the latest scientific developments into the discussion. Oxygen is a compelling story of scientific discovery that illuminates how one element became so integral to life on our planet.
