About this book
Learn about the inner workings of our earth, including earthquakes, volcanoes, thunderstorms and tsunamis; animal life on earth; the earth regions and the impact of humans on the planet, including information on migration, population and sustainability in this comprehensive hardback book celebrating the biodiversity and structure of this fascinating planet.
This is a detailed and quite advanced guide for young geology, geography and biology fans, attractively designed to encourage readers to dip in and research and learn facts. The font size is quite small in parts which means that readers with issues accessing text may have problems getting the most out of the book, but the overall focus on revering the earth makes it a welcome addition to any school or home library.
