INTERESTING! OPENS YOUR EYES TO THE OTHER LITTLE KNOWN FACTS ABOUT OUT PLANET

I bought this book mainly just to fine-tune (and enhance a little bit) my knowledge about our planet. I love to watch documentary films about nature and how it works. This book is a kind of supplement to watching those films and will give you some insights of a lot of the things you know about the earth and some of the things you thought you know about the earth. It is a good book to introduce to grade-school kids where they are just forming an opinion about nature. It reinforces their knowledge and understanding of how important our planet is. I highly recommend this book.
