A short, readable exploration of the Earth's geology and history which includes geophysics (earthquakes and volcanoes) and space science (the moon and the planets). The author deals only with those popular topics most appealing to a general audience - the formation of the earth, how continents move, minerals and rocks, fossils, diamonds and gems, and meteorites. Replete with personal anecdotes, humorous asides and stories of how the discoverers made their discoveries, this is an easy-to-read book that needs no background in the subject.
