The air we breathe is 21 percent oxygen, an amount higher than on any other known world. While we may take our air for granted. Earth was not always an oxygenated planet. How did it become this way? 'Oxygen' provides an account of the history of atmospheric oxygen on Earth. Canfield covers this vast history, emphasizing its relationship to the evolution of life and the evolving chemistry of the Earth.
