Synopsis
Imagine if you could speak to a meteorite… What do you think it could tell you about the universe? Find out in Basher Science: Rocks and Minerals, the extraordinary book that brings geology to life through a community of incredible characters. This new edition has a fresh new look, and updated, fascinating facts!
Discover everything from the ancient wonder of fossilized plants and animals to the curious beauty of minerals and crystals. This compelling guide is packed with Basher beings who come together to create the foundations of our planet.
Unlock the mysteries of the ground beneath our feet, learn how the island of Surtsey was created from a volcanic eruption in just a few days, and find out which mineral can be found on Mars. Finally, realise how rocks and minerals form essential parts of our daily lives: sparkly diamond earrings, copper wires, graphite pencils and even in talcum powder.
Simon Basher's unique, eye-catching illustrations combine with engaging, first-person text by expert author Dan Green to hook even the most reluctant readers and help make content accessible. Perfect for home or school, Basher's highly original books make difficult concepts tangible, understandable and even lovable.
Learn even more with the Basher Science series, including: Biology, Physics, Chemistry and The Periodic Table.
