Discover the fascinating world of Otherlands!

Otherlands is a book by author Thomas Halliday that invites readers on a journey into long-vanished worlds of our planet - into different periods of geological history and the ecosystems of those times. Rather than “alternate realities” in the fictional sense, it focuses on popular-science storytelling about what Earth may have looked like in the past and what we know about it from scientific findings.

Whether you are interested in natural sciences, evolution, and paleontology, or simply looking for an engaging popular-science book, Otherlands can offer an inspiring perspective on the transformations of life on Earth and on how a picture of ancient worlds is pieced together from the available evidence.
