About this title

Synopsis

Featuring special full-color maps and dramatic color illustrations, an atlas that focuses on how the earth works takes readers beneath the earth's crust, inside a volcano, under a glacier, and to the bottom of an ocean trench. Children's BOMC.

Reviews

Gr. 4-7. This very oversize volume looks at the geography of the earth, including the earth's crust, the ocean floor, and various kinds of rocks as well as the history of the earth. Photographs are less in evidence here than in some of the publisher's other books, but the color illustrations of such things as cutaways of earth features and examples of natural structures are mostly big and bold, surrounded by text and smaller pictures. When photos are used, for instance to catalog the various kinds of rocks, they are very effective. Not the only book you'll want to have on the subject, but a useful one. Ilene Cooper
