Planet Earth is a lively, thought-provoking book for
children ages 8-12, presenting the world as it’s never
been seen before. Children usually grow up looking
at traditional “projected” maps but Planet Earth looks
at the whole world as it appears from Earth’s orbit.
These global views clearly show how local terrain
and environment affect the way we live, with regional
maps covering every inch, showing countries as they
really are in relation to others on the globe, and
offering clear explanations of topics such as the
world’s weather, natural disasters and the extinction
of the dinosaurs.
Thematic pages highlight patterns of population;
the world’s mantle of vegetation and its atmospheric
layers; the forces that drive the weather; and
volcanic and earthquake regions, shown by means
of a cross-section of the planet.
