Older than dirt: A wild but true history of Earth / Brown, Don; Perfit, Mike 2017  Book
Brown, Don Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication New York, Houghton Mifflin Company, 2017.
Description 104pBlack Spine
Summary/Abstract Almost 14.5 billion years ago, it all started with a big bang and what began as a cloud of gas, dust, and rock eventually took shape and bloomed into a molten sphere. Battered by asteroid collisions, ice ages, and shifting tectonic plates, our fledgling planet finally pushed forth continents. But if you think the earth has calmed down since then - think again! Geological activity continues to sculpt the earth's landscape, sometimes with terrible consequences for its inhabitants: earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis. In this one-of-a-kind, wild, but true history of Earth, the Sibert Honor medalist Don Brown takes on big concepts with humor and ease.
