Mother Earth in all her glory

As the Earth approaches the ripe age of four and a half billion years old and with global warming taking its toll, we begin to understand how powerful the Earth is in relation to our existence. Renowned science writers, Iain Stewart and John Lynch, use breathtaking imagery and groundbreaking discoveries to explain the unique functions of planet Earth.

Each chapter examines one of the powerful forces acting on the Earth, from meteor impacts, the ocean and plate tectonics to the atmosphere and even ice. Learn how each of these keep the Earth alive, affecting the world’s very destiny. Dazzling effects and revolutionary graphics recreate critical episodes in the life of our planet, showing how the moon was created, how the Earth nearly froze to death in the bitter grip of the ice ages and it’s miraculous survival through it’s own molten core bursting through the surface.

This lavishly illustrated book tells the epic story of the birth, life and eventual death of our magical planet.
