Two-time Sibert Honor winner Don Brown has crafted a graphic
history of the world's geology with a humble groundhog tour guide,
leading readers through the planet's natural history and stages of
the Earth's evolution, as well as the incredible natural forces
constantly at work. Almost 14.5 billion years ago, it all started
with a Big Bang and what began as a cloud of gas, dust, and rock
eventually took shape and bloomed into a molten sphere. Battered by
asteroid collisions, ice ages, and shifting tectonic plates, our
fledgling planet finally pushed forth continents. But if you think
Earth has calmed down since then--think again! Geological activity
such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis continues to sculpt
the earth's landscape, sometimes with terrible consequences for its
inhabitants. In this one-of-a-kind, wild, but true history of
Earth, two-time Sibert Honor Medalist Don Brown takes on big
concepts with humor and ease.
