About This Book
From Publishers Weekly
Visually spectacular, this standout guide to our planet offers a
thorough look at the Earth's physical dynamics. Divided into five major
sections-Planet Earth, Land, Ocean, Atmosphere and Tectonic Earth-the
book explores the planet's environment, weather systems and general
physical makeup. The large-format volume begins with the Earth's history
and anatomy, featuring pages of stunning photos (one image shows a river
of red-hot lava running into the sea), comprehensive layouts and
excellent diagrams (e.g., a cut-out of the Earth's structure, from inner
core to the chemical composition of its atmosphere). A chapter on rocks
explains the many various types of metamorphic and sedentary stones, for
instance, while a chapter on rivers and lakes showcases beautiful photos
of the endless Amazon, with smaller sidebar photos of the animals that
live in the tropics and color-coded maps of the region. Pretty enough to
serve as a coffee table book, this volume also contains a tremendous
amount of absorbing information.
Availability: Usually ships in 5~10 business days.
