Previous owner's name and a date written in ink on front free-end page. Some rubbing to the dust jacket, but dust jacket in excellent condition otherwise. ; 9.5 x 6.5 x .5 inches; 86 pages; Photographs brought back by our astronauts from outer space show that the earth is enveloped in a brilliant deep blue, and that its edge is curved - proof that man is living on a sphere. In today's space age, more than ever before, people think of the earth as a planet and inquire about its evolution. Encompassing a broad view, Our Blue Planet answers questions on the earth's origin, internal structure, expansion and age. The author discusses the origin of the atmosphere and oceans, the origin of life, development of climates and the future of the earth. Scientists have accumulated enough knowledge on these subjects to fill a library. However, Our Blue Planet deftly sketches the earth's evolution in a single compact volume, which is completely up to date, including the most recent scientific discoveries and theories. Dr. Haber writes with great clarity, being especially gifted in his use of analogy, and his style, plus the liveliness and immediacy of the approach, makes his book accessible and appealing to readers of all ages. .
