Older Than Dirt: A Wild But True History of EarthAlmost 14. 5 billion years ago, it all started with a BIG BANG and what began as a cloud of gas, dust, and rock eventually took shape and bloomed into a molten sphere. Battered by asteroid collisions, ice ages, and shifting tectonic plates, our fledgling planet finally pushed forth continents.

Almost 14.5 billion years ago, it all started with a BIG BANG and what began as a cloud of gas, dust, and rock eventually took shape and bloomed into a molten sphere. Battered by asteroid collisions, ice ages, and shifting tectonic plates, our fledgling planet finally pushed forth continents. But if you think the earth has calmed down since then--think again Geological activity continues to sculpt the earth's landscape, sometimes with terrible consequences for its inhabitants: earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis.

In this one-of-a-kind, wild, but true history of Earth, the Sibert Honor medalist Don Brown takes on big concepts with humor and ease.

Sizing seems to be different depending on color!
Size: Large, Color: Mini Leopard
Ordered in Mini Leopard in Large and Pink in Medium. The Mini leopard was too big and the Pink was to small! Decided to return both and order the pink in large. That fits!!! Sizing is different in different colors! Like the style and hopefully it will wash okay. Kept the pink, large! It did come extremely creased!

Sizes not consistent
Size: Medium, Color: Mini Leopard
Hit or miss with these. I got 3 all the same size. One is perfect, ones a little tight and one I can't even wear bc the sleeves are so tight. Hang to dry or you'll have super wrinkles.

Elegant and Comfortable.
Size: X-Large, Color: Light Beige
When I received this shirt, it looked wayyyy bigger than it actually is, due to the way it is cut. The drawstring in the waist of the shirt is extended to the maximum when you get it, so it makes the shirt look extra wide. But naturally, when you pull the top on and cinch the waist, the whole look comes together. So make sure to order your actual size! Don't be fooled by what you see when you open the packet! There's some obvious texture from the horizontal weave in the linen, but the fabric is very soft. The inner label says this shirt is 55% linen and 45% cotton and honestly? It shows. It has a high amount of breathability without the shirt feeling flimsy. There's a slight amount of stretch, but it's not elastic. It doesn't feel cheap at all. This would feel good to wear in an indoor and outdoor environment. Paired with a camisole, I feel like you could dress this up or down. The one drawback of it being natural fibers is that it has a tendency to wrinkle. But that's honestly fine for me. I have an iron and I don't mind using it. lol 5 stars! Recommended.
