Earth Story Reviews

"This book is a wonderful introduction to a new discipline, the geosciences, which integrates diverse fields to explain the intimate connections between fascinating and seemingly unrelated phenomena--the shapes of continents, earthquakes, the locations of mountains and volcanoes, weather and climate, and the evolution of life."--S. George Philander, Princeton University; author of Is the Temperature Rising?
"Winner of the 1999 Walter Sullivan Award for Excellence in Science Journalism, American Geophysical Union"
"One of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 1999"
"A visual feast through which our planet speaks to us, a true bridge between Science and Art. . . . Lamb and Singleton have produced an exciting book that is very useful for the layperson interested in Earth sciences. It will also be treasured as a celebration of the beauties of the science by those already familiar with the various issues."---K. Bernhard Sporli, Meteorite
