LITTLE BOOK SERIES THE LITTLE BOOK OF PLANET ...

The Little Book of Planet Earth presents a concise description of the geological evolution of
Earth from its formation. Meissner describes in detailed but accessible prose not just the
planet's features  but the tools that modern geologists use to explore and track the
ever-changing subterranean and surface features of the planet. With a particular gift for
expressing how the forces in and around our planet constantly alter the world we live in  the
author introduces lay readers to the key topics in modern earth and planetary science: the
creation of Earth and its moon (as well as stars and other planets)  the role of seismology in
analyzing Earth's structure  the formation of mountain ranges and basins  the role of plate
tectonics  the significance of Earth's magnetic field  and the complex relationship of our
planet's geology to the life forms found there.
