How Life on Earth Began

Aina Bestard Vila

"A journey to the beginnings of time with gorgeous illustrations that straddle science and myth as they capture the beauty of a developing planet."

The books created by illustrator and textile designer Aina Bestard have captivated readers around the world. Their original, appealing visuals—filled with clever details—offer a sumptuous reading experience. In Lost Landscapes she explains the early life of our planet, 300 million years ago, when the first cells began their path to becoming dinosaurs and woolly mammoths. With exceptional illustrations and textured paper that has the look of antique natural history books, Bestard invites us to travel with her to these impossible yet real landscapes.
