    Chapter1: The last three millions of unequal spring thaws -- Chapter2: Triumph and fall of the wet, warmer and never-more-diverse temperate forests (Oligocene-Pliocene) -- Chapter3: Aridity, cooling, open vegetation and the evolution of plants and animals in the Cenozoic -- Chapter4: Visiting the "PETM" greenhouse: environments, plants and animals of the early Cenozoic -- Chapter5: When and why Nature gained Angiosperms -- Chapter6: Postcards from the Mesozoic: Forest landscapes with giant flowering trees, enigmatic seed ferns, and other naked-seed plants -- Chapter7: Dinosaurs, but not only: Vertebrate evolution in the Mesozoic -- Chapter8: How to Live with Dinosaurs: Ecosystems across the Mesozoic -- Chapter9: Early Mesozoic Nature in and around Tethys -- Chapter10: The End-Permian Mass Extinction: Nature's revolution -- Chapter11: Long-lasting morphologies despite evolution: Ferns (monilophytes) throughout the Phanerozoic -- Chapter12: The non-analog vegetation of the Late Paleozoic Icehouse–Hothouse and their coal-forming forested environments -- Chapter13: The Coal Farms of the Late Paleozoic -- Chapter14: Diving with trilobites: Life in the Silurian-Devonian seas -- Chapter15: Back to the beginnings: The Silurian-Devonian as a time of major innovation in plants and their communities. This book simulates a historical walk through nature, teaching readers about the biodiversity on Earth in various eras with a focus on past terrestrial environments. Geared towards a student audience, using simple terms and avoiding long complex explanations, the book discusses the plants and animals that lived on land, the evolution of natural systems, and how these biological systems changed over time in geological and paleontological contexts. With easy-to-understand and scientifically accurate and up-to-date information, readers will be guided through major biological events from the Earth's past. The topics in the book represent a broad paleoenvironmental spectrum of interests and educational modules, allowing for virtual visits to rich geological times. Eras and events that are discussed include, but are not limited to, the much varied Quaternary environments, the evolution of plants and animals during the Cenozoic, the rise of angiosperms, vertebrate evolution and ecosystems in the Mesozoic, the Permian mass extinction, the late Paleozoic glaciation, and the origin of the first trees and land plants in the Devonian-Ordovician. With state-of-the art expert scientific instruction on these topics and up-to-date and scientifically accurate illustrations, this book can serve as an international course for students, teachers, and other interested individuals. .

    Celebrated landscape architect Gilles Clément may be best known for his public parks in Paris, including the Parc André Citroën and the garden of the Musée du Quai Branly, but he describes himself as a gardener. To care for and cultivate a plot of land, a capable gardener must observe in order to act and work with, rather than against, the natural ecosystem of the garden. In this sense, he suggests, we should think of the entire planet as a garden, and ourselves as its keepers, responsible for the care of its complexity and diversity of life."The Planetary Garden" is an environmental manifesto that outlines Clément's interpretation of the laws that govern the natural world and the principles that should guide our stewardship of the global garden of Earth. These are among the tenets of a humanist ecology, which posits that the natural world and humankind cannot be understood as separate from one another. This philosophy forms a thread that is woven through the accompanying essays of this volume: "Life, Constantly Inventive: Reflections of a Humanist Ecologist" and "The Wisdom of the Gardener." Brought together and translated into English for the first time, these three texts make a powerful statement about the nature of the world and humanity's place within it.
