DESCRIPTION:
Great series! Can't say enough good things about any books from Crabtree Publishing. Neil Morris' "Wonders of Our World" series from Crabtree Publishing breaks down environment into specific subjects so that appropriate focus can be given in each educational book. These books will prove much more memorable than competitors on the same subject because they blend simplicity with an effort to entertain: kids will find them bright, colorful, and appealing beyond the usual school applications -- The Midwest Book Review
Rocks and Minerals helps explain: -- how erosion, sediment deposit, and underground pressure create rocks and minerals-- fossils and gemstones-- how the Grand Canyon was created-- how metals are made from ore-- what space rocks teach us. Ten books in this series offer fascinating full-color photographs of examples from around the world to help illustrate: -- the devastating impact volcanoes, extreme weather, and earthquakes can have-- why the earth's forests and waterways are in danger of destruction-- how the earth's powerful internal forces produce rocks and minerals from the ordinary to the dazzling-- how mountains, deserts, and caves are formedRocky cliffs at the seashore often reveal the geological processes at work creating rocks and minerals. The Wonders of our World Series offers young readers a lively and visually exciting introduction to the world around us and the forces at work shaping our planet and its future
