Описание: An analysis of patterns of convergent evolution on Earth that suggests where we might look for similar convergent forms on other planets.

Why does a sea lily look like a palm tree? And why is a sea lily called a lily when it is a marine animal and not a plant? Many marine animals bear a noticeable similarity in form to land-dwelling plants. And yet these marine animal forms evolved in the oceans first; land plants independently and convergently evolved similar forms much later in geologic time. In this book, George McGhee analyzes patterns of convergent evolution on Earth and argues that these patterns offer lessons for the search for life elsewhere in the universe.

Our Earth is a water world; 71 percent of the earths surface is covered by water. The fossil record shows that multicellular life on dry land is a new phenomenon; for the vast majority of the earths history--3,500 million years of its 4,560 million years of existence--complex life existed only in the oceans. Explaining that convergent biological evolution occurs because of limited evolutionary pathways, McGhee examines examples of convergent evolution in forms of feeding, immobility and mobility, defense, and organ systems. McGhee suggests that the patterns of convergent evolution that we see in our own water world indicate the potential for similar convergent forms in other water worlds. We should search for extraterrestrial life on water worlds, and for technological life on water worlds with continental landmasses.

Описание: Alison McGhee and Peter H. Reynolds s #1 "New York Times "bestselling and beloved story of a mother s love and dreams for her child is now available in a beautiful keepsake edition.
"One day I counted your fingers and kissed each one...
Sometimes, when you sleep, I watch you dream, and I dream too
That someday you will dive into the cool clear water of a lake...
Someday I will watch you brushing your child s hair...
Someday... "
A deceptively simple, powerful ode to the potential of love and the potential in life, "Someday" is the story of what every mother wishes for her child: a chance to live life at its fullest to experience great joys, to stretch, to grow, to understand sorrow, to have a future to have a someday. This shimmering, achingly beautiful, and poignant tale created by two great talents takes this idea and turns it into something that will touch every reader. "Someday," now available in a gorgeous keepsake edition, is a story you ll want to share with a special someone today and every day."
