Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neu -Die Biografie des Lebewesens, auf dem wir wohnen: Die Erde. Wie alt ist die Erde Wie ist sie entstanden Woraus besteht sie Hatte sie immer schon ihre jetzige Gestalt Hat sie eine Geschichte, und wenn ja, was können wir über sie erfahren Intensiv diskutiert wird zur Zeit die Theorie, dass die Erde ein lebender Organismus mit eigener Identität sei, der entstandene Schäden auszubessern und zu erneuern versucht.
