The information presented in this comprehensive encyclopedia is remarkably diverse. It describes rocks, minerals, and gemstones that formed back when the Earth was first taking shape, the rich flora of our green planet, and a wide variety of animals that inhabit the land and sea. Furthermore, the book allows you to take an exciting journey into the distant past—to the vanished world of the dinosaurs. Also included are machines and mechanisms capable of traveling on and under water, on land, and through the air, which humans have invented to assist them—simple and complex technical devices with wheels and tracks, propellers and wings, sails and periscopes.
More than 2,000 stunning illustrations make this book truly unique; their quantity and quality allow this volume to be called a visual encyclopedia. The images are accompanied by descriptions and interesting facts, and figures and diagrams are also provided for a complete picture.
