5.0 out of 5 stars
Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Planet Earth.,
By Rose Wood "Luci_D" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Understanding Earth (Paperback)
This book, Understanding Earth, is a wonderful book to read even if you are not taking a course in Geology. If you are interested in the history of the Earth and what's happening today with our glaciers, groundwater, tectonic plates, volcanoes, earthquakes, landslides, and more, this is the book to read. The publisher lists it as having 70 pages, but that is an error. There are 567 pages as well as 6 appendices, glossary, and index.
