by Lester Del Rey ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 10, 1960
With the general frenzy to explore other worlds, there is something essentially sane about this reminder of the complexities and wonders of our own earth. In this vividly written text, the world is literally turned inside out to explore its mysteries and secrets. The structure of the world from its very core to its revealing surface is scrutinized. The study of fossils, rocks, the ocean floor, foreign bodies lodged on earth, the sky and its creatures, man and his origins are all considered in this entertaining and compact compendium of our planet and its mysteries.
