A small planet within a vast Solar System the Earth is unique in several ways. It has life it has water and it has a surface that is continually being renewed. The parts of the Earth that can be seen are just a tiny proportion of the whole planet. Beneath the Earth's crust lies the thick rocky mantel and at the centre there is a metal core which is partly solid and partly liquid. A magnetic field protects the Earth from the Sun's harmful radiation. Over three-quarters of the Earth's surface is covered by water. Of all the rain that falls on the land one-third runs off into rivers and returns to the sea. The rest soaks into the soil where it remains for years as ground water which keeps rivers flowing in times of drought. Featuring historic scientific apparatus and ground-breaking experiments Earth is an intriguing look at the world in which we live.

The National Curriculum states that by the age of 11 most children should be able to describe the appearance of the sun, the earth and the moon and how their positions change, as part of Key Stage Two Science: physical processes. One way to support your child's learning at home for this part of the curriculum is to use DK Eyewitness Guides: Earth, which covers the subject comprehensively and in a fun, bright and accessible way. Hundreds of colour pictures and photographs, plus thousands of interesting facts make this a fantastic reference book for the bookshelf at home and school. Suitable for ages 8 and above. --Amanda York
Integrating words and pictures, this is a family reference book on Earth, structured so that the individual themes of each spread make up a complete visual story and a self-contained module. On every spread there is a specially shot colour photograph of objects shown in real-life close-up detail.
