Earth Science

I think I may have finally found our long sought Earth History spine. While looking for various books on Amazon one of their many links brought me "Earth Science Made Simple" by Edward F. Albin, Ph.D. The entries on each topic are short and clearly stated. Diagrams are simple yet understandable. Important vocabulary words are presented at the beginning of each topic. I haven't read the entire book but I certainly won't vouch for it following any particular religious principle, for example it discusses the age of the earth as being around 4600 million years. It does however explain complicated earth processes in a way that I think would be easily understood by either the teacher or a student as young middle school. I think that younger students would understand much of the material if working with an older student or adult. The book covers Geology, Oceanography, Meteorology and Planetary Science. "...Made Simple" appears to be a series that, if it works for Clemmie and Spencer, may necessitate looking at other titles such as Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, and Latin.

If you would like to see the book itself an Amazon link is available in the side bar with a few of our other favorites.
