Mini Encyclopedia - Science - Thryft

Facts and photos for budding geologists.

This mini encyclopedia is great for kids who have an interest in geology, rocks, minerals and fossils. With its abundance of photographs, realistic artwork, and detailed diagrams, topics are easily navigable and presented in a clear and concise manner. The book includes fun facts, like how diamond is forty times harder than talc, and that the oldest rocks to be radiometrically dated are over 3900 million years old. It's a perfect resource for middle school level projects, and can be easily carried in a school bag.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
