Earth Condensed presents a comprehensive look at the world – from the earliest geological time to today’s melting pot of diversity. Highly detailed, up-to-date, full colour, topographic map plates bring each country and region under the microscope. In-depth profiles present the unique characteristics of each country. Thematic maps bring perspective to topics such as climate and weather patterns, natural resources, population density, mineral distribution, and vegetation, while detailed tectonic plates reveal the hidden undersea world of trenches, basins, and fracture zones. Informative text also discusses the solar system, and the intriguing world of the night sky, accompanied by detailed illustrations.
