Renowned paleontologist Kirk Johnson takes us on an epic adventure through time at the polar extremes of our planet. Following a trail of strange fossils found in all the wrong places—beech trees in Antarctica, hippo-like mammals in the Arctic—Johnson uncovers the bizarre history of the poles, from miles-high ice sheets to warm polar forests teeming with life. What caused such dramatic changes at the ends of the Earth? And what can the past reveal about our planet’s climate today—and in the future?

Between the end of the Middle Ages and the late 18th century, over 50,000 Europeans were persecuted, tortured and executed on charges of witchcraft. The pogrom was triggered by the book 'Malleus Maleficarum', published in 1486. Its detailed instructions for persecuting and annihilating alleged witches triggered a mass hysteria.

El cambio climático, posibles impactos de asteroides, epidemias... la Tierra está en peligro y el tiempo apremia. El astrofísico Stephen Hawking prevé su fin para dentro de 200 años, revelando la necesidad de colonizar un nuevo planeta que acoja a la raza humana en menos de un siglo. No sólo necesitamos un planeta que se adapte a nuestras necesidades, también precisamos de naves que soporten un viaje de años, invernaderos espaciales y sistemas para generar una atmósfera protectora... Las exigencias son numerosas pero científicos de todo el mundo, tanto de la NASA como de la Agencia Espacial Europea, dedican su día a día a hacer posible el éxodo.
