Description
This text’s end goal: to inspire awe and amazement in the mind of students. Focusing on the Earth’s constant changes, this writing (from the 1950s) conversationally explains the transformation of the land (rocks, minerals, and soil), the sea (rivers, and underground supply), and man’s relationship with the Earth. A handful of briefly explained, home-friendly Investigations help students understand and replicate these processes: recreate a well, demonstrate a river’s effects on soil and transformation of the Earth’s crust with a tube of toothpaste. This reprint adds a section on plate tectonics by Dr. Stan Grove, which replaces an outdated explanation while maintaining the original style. The replaced passage is included in the appendix. Index is included. 185 pgs, pb. ~ Ruth
