Perfect for science class as well as anyone curious about our globe, a humble groundhog guides us on a tour through the planets natural history and describes the different stages of the Earths evolution as well as the incredible natural forces constantly at work. Publisher Description 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 earths 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.
