Folio, Pictorial Boards, Weldon Owen Pub., B & W And Color Illustrations, An Incredible Overview Of Each Period In Earth’s Tectonic History, Starting 4.5 billion years ago, this large-format account of the geological history of the Earth traces the movement of landmasses up to the present day and predicts how they will move further. In a series of maps, with concise accompanying texts and detailed line drawings, it explains the gradual continental shifts, and how life developed and diversified as a result. Page five shows eleven stages of the movement from effectively one mass to the continents we know today - not what you expect. Age 7+
