關於產品

Product Information

The book presents to the lay reader a concise description of the geological structure of the Earth, from its earliest formation to the present and into the future. Like previous titles of the Copernicus Little Book series, the book gets right to the heart of the matter: starting from the Earth's position in the Universe, the author explains the formation of the continents, continental drift, and the origin of life on Earth. In addition, he gives an insight into the main tools of modern geology and geophysics.

Reviews
From the reviews: "[The Little Book of Planet Earth] provides critical insights into the nature of Earth's composition, our understanding of Earth's magnetic field, and plate tectonics." Science News "How did life on our planet evolve? How old is Earth? How was our solar system formed and, with it, our planet? These are big questions, but the answers are found in this small book that gives broad insights into earth science." Science News "An amazing introduction to what scientific research through the past centuries up to the modern day has learned about our planet." The Bookwatch "The book is a small miracle." New Scientist "The Little Book of Planet Earth describes the geological evolution of Earth from its formation. … In this concise and engaging little book, the author introduces lay readers to the key topics in modern earth and planetary science: the creation of Earth and its moon, the role of seismology in analyzing Earth's structure, the formation of mountain ranges and basins, the significance of Earth's magnetic field, and more." (Science in Africa, October, 2002) "The Little Book of Planet Earth by meteorologist and geophysicist Rolf Meissner is an amazing introduction to what scientific research through the past centuries up to the modern day has learned about our planet. From the origin of the solar system to plate tectonics to earth's magnetic field and much more, chapters teach all about the Earth in straightforward, easy-to-understand language accessible to lay readers. Highly recommended for all readers … ." (Circulation, June, 2002) "This small but delightful book should interest anyone curious about the planet he or she lives on. … Meissner treats this material in an interesting and easy-to-read style. But he does much more he also describes the formation of Earth and its development. … There are numerous illustrations and photographs throughout, along with a section on further reading. … Strongly recommended. General readers; lower- and upper-division undergraduates." (B. R. Parker, Choice, October, 2002) "It is an up-to-date account of great breakthroughs in the earth sciences during the second half of the 20th century, that were published in top journals. … A very interesting work that satisfies one's taste for understanding the basics of the science his professional occupation is based upon." (Michiel Dusar, Geologica Belgica, Vol. 5 (1-2), 2002) "It's a simple plan and excellently carried out, exploring early ideas about the origin of the Earth, then describing the Solar System and gradually narrowing the focus until reaching the core of the Earth itself. Meissner then retraces his path with fascinating explanations … . There are admirable illustrations, too. … the book is a small miracle."
