Early on, I decided to start my book of 100 moments in humanity's weather and climate learning journey ( http://j.mp/weatherclimate100 ) with the origin of Earth's atmosphere. You can't have weather without one. With my co-author (Lisa Mechaley), I also decided to include contributions from writers with special knowledge of particular areas of science. Howard Lee came to mind right away as perfect for the earliest moments in our planet's history. He was great to work with and his sections turned out wonderfully. His book, "Your Life as Planet Earth," is a deeper dive into that journey and I hope you'll buy and read it.
