Earth - By: S. J. Fisk, 14 Aug 2008 
I had to buy this book for an environmental science course i was doing last year. The pictures in this book are amazing but the text is very basic, making it more of a coffee table book than an educational resource. You could probably read the entire book cover to cover in less than 90 minutes.
Gret Book - Check Edition Before Purchase - By: M. Cann, 06 Aug 2008 
This is a wonderful book to have around the house, excellent illustrations (photographs & diagrams) & great to mull over with your kids.
But BE WARNED: This book comes in several editions - hard back, paper back & compact. The cover picture is the same on each edition, price & availability vary considerably. Be sure you are buying the one you reallly want (our home DK collection now has the full size Ocean & Animal titles but a rather diminutive looking "compact" Earth). Don't spoil your enjoyment of this highly rated book by accidentallly picking up the wrong edition.
Stunning - By: Bob Singleton, 15 Feb 2007 A typical DK book. Written in an unfussy manner that's easy to read & full of stunning colour photos & illustrations. It's the sort of book that should be on everybody's bookshelf to dip into at regular intervals or when a you need a general reference book on geography, geology & the history of this little bit of rock we calll home.
A visual feast - By: dragondrums, 11 Apr 2005 This is a visuallly stunning book as well as being extremely informative. As always, Dorling Kindersley has produced a book that is well laid out & easy to navigate and, best of alll, is fun to read. There is something to appeal to everyone, from the casual reader to the student wishing to know more about this balll of rock we calll home. Covering topics from the highest mountains to the deepest oceans & from the driest deserts to the rainforests of the world, this is a book you will never get bored with. Worth every penny & more.
