Book Reviews of Earth (DK/Google E.guides)
Book Review: Polar Ice Caps and Lush Rain Forests
Summary: 5 Stars
DK and Google teamed up to create a book with a dedicated website. Not only can children find information about our world in this unique e.guide, they can then go online and follow age-appropriate links that are actively monitored for safe browsing.
Not only do the e.guides assist children with homework, they are fascinating to read and the author of "Earth" is a specialist in natural history and environmental science. Matt Turner has written many articles for young readers.
This book covers topics like the age of the earth, volcanoes, earthquakes, landslides, erosion, glaciers and ice sheets, deserts, tropical forests, wetlands, Polar Regions, waves and tsunamis, exploring the ocean depths and climate changes.
Earth also answers questions like:
Where are stars born?
How long does it take for the moon to circle the earth?
How does lunar gravity affect the tides?
There are cross-sections of volcanoes, satellite images of earthquakes, pictures of how islands form, pictures of animals that live in the ocean depths and pictures of hurricanes. This book does seem to focus on how violent our planet actually is and while we are always seeing devastating results from natural disasters on TV, this book takes a look at why these disasters occur and shows you the main Tsunami risk areas or how a Tsunami is linked to earthquakes and volcanoes.
