Это информативное, захватывающее воображение введение в планету Земля. Основу книги составляют большие, детализированные фотографии отдельных объектов, многие из которых достаточно малы, чтобы их можно было держать в руке, и каждый из них красноречиво говорит об определенном аспекте окружающей среды Земли и о том, как они работают. Например, пузырьки древнего воздуха, запертые внутри антарктического ледяного ядра, показывают, как менялся климат Земли с течением времени. Кусок пемзы, подброшенный вулканом на несколько миль в воздух, помогает объяснить, что происходит при столкновении тектонических плит • Книга построена вокруг воображаемого путешествия, которое переносит читателя из внутреннего ядра на поверхность Земли (включая как сушу, так и океаны) и к верхним слоям атмосферы
