The Big Earth Book: How Our Planet Was Shaped by Earth, Air, Fire, and Water

256 pp. | Lonely Planet | November, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-1-78701-278-3 $19.99
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Brendan Kearney. This attractive oversize book is all about Earth: "how it was formed, what shaped it, and how it came to be full of living things." Organized into sections of earth, air, fire, and water, each topic gets one jam-packed spread with cartoony illustrations (and occasionally photos). Although inevitably rather scattershot, the volume's accessible text and interesting content should please browsers. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
