Seller's Description:
Good. Good condition. (nature, earth, world, natural history) A copy that has been read but remains intact. May contain markings such as bookplates, stamps, limited notes and highlighting, or a few light stains.
"The Earth" is one of 25 volumes in the Life Nature Library which was published by Time-Life books in the 1960s. Though obviously dated (it was written before the coining of the term "plate tectonics" and the first moon landing), it is still a good, basic introduction to geology. Topics covered include the Earth in space, internal structure of the Earth, the atmosphere, earthquakes, erosion, fossils, types of rocks, geologic history, and the Earth's future. What caught my attention was the statement on page 164 which hints at global warming: "In A.D. 2000 a possible trillion tons of industrial CO2 in the air will increase earth's average temperature by 3.6 degrees." At the same time, the book describes theories which attempt to explain natural climate change. I did like this book, but at times I felt as if I was reading one of my geology textbooks from college. This is the second book from this series I have read and I liked "The Sea" much better (see my review). Nevertheless, "The Earth" is an ideal book for one who desires a basic introduction to our fascinating planet.
