Description
The study of fossils, minerals, and gems has played crucial roles in increasing our knowledge about the Earth, the changes the planet has gone through, and the species that have inhabited it. This volume introduces the disciplines of geology, palaeontology, and mineralogy, and how they reveal secrets of the Earth's history. The "Living Earth Series" aims to provide answers for students, armchair explorers, budding geologists, or general readers. Written by experts in physical science and geology, each book features reader-friendly text, informative tables, and a bibliography of sources for further study.
