Known as the biosphere to scientists and as the creation to theologians, all of life together consists of a membrane around earth so thin that it cannot be seen edgewise from a satellite yet so prodigiously diverse that only a tiny fraction of species have been discovered and named.

And thus humanity closes the door on its past.
'The Creation' presents an argument for saving biological diversity on Earth. Most of the book is for as broad an audience as possible.
