5 out of 5 stars Earth in all its majesty   March 27, 2008

Beautiful book and, like the TV series, is a well presented and informative guide to our planet, its formation and also addresses the problems that may occur from the legacy of human impact.

My husband was glued to the tv series so i decided to get the book for Xmas for him,thought it wouldn't contain much extra info but he thinks its best book hes ever read and it certainly made him stop and think about the planet and what a fragile place we really live on!
On his 2nd read of it now!!

If you loved the series shown on bbc2 a few weeks ago, I guarantee you'll love this book. I've just received my copy today and I've only read a few pages but wow the stuff and information in it fabulous and awesome images. If you're into your volcanoes, impacts, earthquakes etc. Like I am :) I'd definitely forward this book to you.


5 out of 5 stars Mind boggling!   December 9, 2007

This book ties in to the excellent TV series Earth Power of the Planet with the Scottish presenter Ian Stewart. It covers a mind boggling 5 BILLION years of the earth's history and looks at how the planet functions and the threat of global warming. I'm pleased to say the book has all the pace and energy of the series - Stewart has a good knack of making the science understandable. A great introduction to a truly fascinating subject. Amazing pictures too.
