Front corners bumped, otherwise in like new condition. 370 Pgs. ISBN 0553050966. LCCN 85-47795. The companion volume to the PBS television series. This book is a guide to our living, changing planet. We journey to the rim of a great meteor crater for evidence of the cosmic collisions from which Earth was born. We travel back in time to 1930, in the icy hear of Greenland, with German scientist Alfred Wegener, who sought all his life to find out why identical fossils exist on continents thousands of mile apart, and why mountain ranges, separated by vast oceans, have the same geology. Ultimately, we will come to see this planet not as a hunk of stone in space but much more like a living organism - with its own internal dynamics, exchanging gases, healing itself, increasingly dependent on a new host creature - man - to shape its future. Illustrated with color photographs. Description text copyright 2006 BooksForComfort. Item ID 10944.
