The Kingfisher Book of the Universe

Más información sobre el libro

This text provides an exploration of our planet and beyond. The opening chapters lay bare the structure of the Earth from the surface down to the core - the white-heat engine that powers our world. Next, the great forces of nature - volcanoes, earthquakes, tornadoes and other destructive phenomena - are dramatically brought to life with illustrations. Life itself has also transformed our planet and this eventful study is recounted from the first stirrings of single-cell organisms to the impact of humans at the beginning of the new millennium.
