520			_a"Packed with facts on the birth of our planet and the forces that shape the land. Discover how and why the Earth is unique, how life-support systems such as the atmosphere, water, and just the right amount of energy from the Sun, make our environment so rich and varied. Fun experiments make sense of the science-erode a sugar mountain, and simulate geological folds using clay. With the help of vivid diagrams, landscape and close-up photographs, the authoritative text reveals and explains the marvels and mysteries of our world. A book to capture the interest of independent readers, or for families or school groups to explore together."
