Earth is Big
A Book of Comparisons
«
"With an engrossing layout, captivating graphics and precision typography, Earth is Big is a wonderful book to add to your KS2 library. It’s a mind-bogglingly impressive compendium of STEM facts and statistics that cover Earth’s size, age, life, composition, climate, speed, shape, mass, evolution and uniqueness ... But it’s not just a wealth of information that makes Steve Tomecek’s book impressive. Children will appreciate the miracle of Earth’s precious existence and begin to understand the delicate equilibria that make all our lives possible."

Earth is big! (compared to a frog)
Earth is small! (when it's hiding in a galaxy)
And that's not all. Earth is wet and dry, hot and cold, round and jagged, fast and slow. You get the idea. It depends how you look at it!
Get to know our planet in a whole new way by comparing it to a huge variety of other incredible things - from tiny particles to giant star clusters. Did you know soap bubbles are some of the roundest objects in the universe? Or that we humans are totally outnumbered by chickens? Or that the driest desert on Earth isn't scorching but freezing? Tour some of the most extreme places on the planet and beyond it, take a look at life forms from bacteria to elephants to redwood trees and explore what makes our planet the perfect home for us.
You'll never see Earth the same way again!

"The wealth of information contained within the slender cover of Earth Is Big is impressive ... This book elegantly reveals dichotomies that we live alongside, but rarely consider. Earth Is Big shows what an amazing planet we live on ... this is a perfect volume for switching young minds on to the world around them."

"An amazing amount of always readable information encompassing such topics as mass extinctions, the Sutter’s Hill meteor strike in 2021 and climate change, which is mentioned several times, is packed between the covers of this book."
