occupied... very useful for projects," wrote New Scientist.

Eyewitness: Earth
More Information on the Eyewitness Books
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.
Featuring historic scientific apparatus and ground-breaking experiments,
Earth is an intriguing look at the world in which we live.
8.5" x 11" 64 pages. Hardback. Ages 8 and up.
