"The supercontinent Gondwana is woven into the consciousness of all who inhabit its scattered fragments. The closer we look, the more we see how much Gondwana defines the world we see around us. The Road to Gondwana follows the journey taken by science to discover Gondwana. What was life like there? What animals and plants lived on it? What landscapes would a traveller encounter? And what is left today?"--Publisher information.
