About this Item

Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

From School Library Journal

Gr 4-7-Divided into clear, clean double-page topic treatments, this series title presents a broad, browsable introduction to its subject. Allaby describes the make-up and natural systems of our planet, on and under the land, in the atmosphere, and in the oceans. He explores the ozone layer and the greenhouse effect, plant life and food webs, ecosystems and biomes, migration and niches, the water cycle, nutrient cycles, soil life, and rivers. The final spread is devoted to the challenges of learning to live in harmony with the earth (interestingly illustrated through land recovery after the mining of china clay). The illustrations focus on Europe, Africa, and the Americas; there are no obvious examples from Australia. Scales of objects in some pictures, especially the cover illustration showing ecosystems, vary enormously, which might be confusing to some readers, but the objects themselves are clear and identifiable.-Kathleen Isaacs, Edmund Burke School, Washington,
