Humanity's understanding of the Earth changed dramatically decades ago, when geologists realized that continents were drifting across the planet's surface and oceans were being reborn and destroyed. With concise, fresh writing and engaging content, this book renews our narrative about the planet. Martin Redfern examines the latest geological research and explains how new insights in plate tectonics, seismology and satellite imagery are helping us to understand the nature of our planet: an active, ever-changing planet.
Reader comments
Even if you have traveled around the world and traveled to every corner of the earth, you may not dare to say that you have a thorough understanding of our planet. In this case, please read the book "Earth" honestly and test how much you know about our human homeland. "Climate" mainly talks about wind, rain, thunder and lightning, while "Earth" mainly talks about the place where we stand. Each has its own emphasis and complements each other.
This book reminded me of a geology friend of mine, whose love for the earth and spirit of exploration deeply infected me. The content in the book is very novel, especially the explanation of the earth's plate tectonics and changes, which gave me a deeper understanding of the earth. I think this book is not only suitable for geology enthusiasts, but also for ordinary readers. It can make us cherish and protect our earth home more.
