El tiempo es uno para los seres humanos y otro radicalmente distinto para el planeta en que vivimos. Agobiados por el fugaz presente, por la inmediatez de nuestros problemas y anhelos, solemos perder de vista el pausado ritmo que ha dado forma a este esferoide que gira en torno al Sol. Las transformaciones de la Tierra no solo son apasionantes tanto como los esfuerzos cientificos por desentrañarlas observando la corteza terrestre, extrayendo registros del hielo formado hace millones de años, leyendo en los fosiles que dan cuenta del auge y la caida de muchisimas especies sino que pueden abrirnos la mente hacia una experiencia inesperada e iluminadora: la conciencia del tiempo.En estas paginas, Marcia Bjornerud muestra como la geologia proporciona una lente para mirar el tiempo de una manera que trasciende los limites de la experiencia humana. Luego de presentar la historia de como los geologos han cartografiado los eones y las edades, de explicar ideas como la tectonica de placas y otras fuerzas que han dado forma al paisaje actual, de esbozar una biografia de nuestra atmosfera y de sintetizar los muchos episodios de cambio climatico que culminan con el Antropoceno, la era geologica engendrada por la actividad humana, la autora demuestra que estudiar la ciencia de la Tierra es lo mas cerca que podemos estar de emprender un viaje en el tiempo."Como geologa, Marcia Bjornerud se mueve en muchos marcos temporales: la historia de la Tierra de 4500 millones de años, el semestre academico, la rutina diaria. En este incisivo estudio, defiende la necesidad de una nueva alfabetizacion en geologia para asi inculcar en la gente un conocimiento mas profundo de los ritmos y procesos planetarios."Barbara Kiser, Nature"La tesis central de Bjornerud es que tener mas personas que piensen como geologos, elevandose por arriba de las preocupaciones cotidianas para comprender las consecuencias a largo plazo de nuestras acciones, ayudara a la sociedad a superar muchos problemas que enfrentamos."David R. Wunsch, Science
