Editorial Reviews

This series, written by Chris Oxlade and Richard and Louise Spilsbury and translated into Spanish, tells readers about the rocks on our planet. The books are valuable for finding information on the wonders of rocks. Each book details what they are, how they form, where to find them, and how to identify them. They can also be used in a science class focusing on issues that relate to the earth’s ecology. The detailed photographs, graphs, and diagrams reinforce the content. Biographies and experiments are included, and the "Learn More" section at the end of each book provides further print and nonprint resources for exploration. Glossary. Index.
