Peter N. Stearns, George Mason University, author of The Industrial Revolution in World History

"Penna is to be congratulated for producing one of the first environmental histories to embrace the entire world and all of human history. As our relationship with the world’s diverse environments deteriorates, such educational resources are becoming increasingly vital."
—David Christian,Macquarie University, formerly of SDSU, author of Maps of Time: An Introduction to Big History

"An insightful survey of global history . . . In clear and accessible prose, it provides a masterful synthesis of scholarship across a wide range of disciplines. Its breadth and sophistication – and its relevance to the world today – make it a compelling read.
—Jeffrey K. Stine, Curator of Engineering and Environmental History, Smithsonian Institution, author of America's Forested Wetlands: From Wasteland to Valued Resource

"Penna weaves human and natural history together into a single, compelling story. In his vision, human innovation, culture and exchange, nutrition, atmospheric chemistry, and plate tectonics are just a few of the many processes that come together in an endless dance of engagement and change . . . The pasts and the fates of humanity, nature, and the Earth are one and the same."
—Adam McKeown, Columbia University, author of Melancholy Order: Asian Migration and the Globalization of Borders 1834–1929

"Combining wide knowledge with an eye for the essential, Penna takes a truly vast and challenging subject – the natural and human history of the earth – and distills it into a volume that is reliable, accessible, and illuminating."
—William B. Meyer, Colgate University, author of Human Impact on the Earth
