Book Synopsis
Provides an introduction to geoscience, which uses clues in rocks and the landscape to tell the story of the Earth. It's a story so old and so fascinating that it's almost hard to believe - except that the evidence can be seen all around us!

Trade Review
"This beautifully presented book takes readers on a 4.6 billion year time travel adventure to explore the rocks, minerals, fossils and other life of planet earth, with particular focus on Australia. [...] a book like this one is a hands-down winner." * Kids Book Review *
"With its accessible text,photographs and diagrams, it is one that will appeal to any reader who has an interest in this subject, perhaps a stepping stone for all those who are deeply inspired by the reign of the dinosaurs and want to know so much more than just the habits and habitats of those creatures and delve into even bigger secrets. Who knows what new careers might be launched" -- Barbra Braxton * The Bottom Shelf *
"For those older children, and indeed adults who are interested in fossils, rocks, minerals and earth’s formation, this is a well-researched and easily accessible publication that provides an opportunity to gain a greater understanding of this fascinating topic." -- Kathryn Beilby * ReadPlus *
